Fellow observers,
I've been out observing Mars for a little while, and I have just noticed a very HUGE increase in meteors falling from all areas of the sky. Pretty amazing. Anyone else notice anything???

coruscations attending the whole length of the luminosity, giving to the phenomena the aspect of a wrathful messenger, and not that of a tranquil body pursuing a harmless course..comet of 1680

Guys, i was just about to write in on this, i've been observing Mars too, i've seen meteors from the northwest and north, definitely an increase, ony a few minutes apart, DID ANYONE ELSE SEE THAT AURORA AT ABOUT 7.20PM???
It was intense, but short lived, green all over the northern horizon, with some strong pillars also..cool night
