I mostly want to know if it’s something to pass along to my husband.

The weather is nice and I wouldn’t mind being outside looking through his telescope.

I hide information if I’m able when it is really cold outside!

He had commented that he saw two falling stars at work last night— I’m wondering if it was any part of this.

But here it's been cold... ;-) Not to mention that when the last bunch of meteors passed (Perseids? ) we had cloud cover every night.

There are a LOT of near earth approach objects. If you bothered to watch the bpearthgrotch video, you will note that he makes everything into a 'we're all gonna die' scenario so warn your husband that that particular source is highly questionable..

If there are any chunks of Ison out there we will be going through their path in the next week or so, so there MIGHT be something to watch. (I'm sure some nutcases with a EweToob channel will create a doomsday scenario for us about that too... ;-)

Here's some more meteorites to watch.

If you wait or depend on NoCmpromiz or dirtboy to tell you what or when to watch, you'll never get notified.

Here's you one more to watch for, roughly a 45 mile wide asteroid from 05:53 AM UT until 6:06 AM UT ( 01:53 until 2:06 AM EDT New York Time) .

"163 Erigone is a main belt asteroid, the namesake of the Erigone family of asteroids that share similar orbital elements and properties.
It was discovered by French astronomer Henri Joseph Perrotin on April 26, 1876 and named after one of the two Erigones in Greek mythology.

Ground track of the March 20, 2014 occultation of Regulus by 163 Erigone.

On March 20, 2014, Erigone is expected to occult the first-magnitude star Regulus.[4]
This event will be visible along a path about 40 miles wide from New York City to Oswego in the United States, and extending approximately NW into Canada on a track that includes Belleville and North Bay, Ontario.[5]

This is a relatively large, dark asteroid with an estimated size of 73 km.[2]
Based upon its spectrum, it is classified as a C-type asteroid,[3] which indicates that it probably has a carbonaceous composition. "

... March 20: A Bright Star Winks Out


An exceedingly rare celestial event is predicted for early this morning when an asteroid will briefly hide one of the brightest stars in the sky from view.
[100 Most Amazing Night Sky Photos of 2013]

The asteroid in question is 163 Erigone, and the star that it will obscure is Regulus, in the constellation of Leo, the Lion.
Along a 45-mile-wide (72 kilometers) path, the asteroid’s shadow will move on a southeast-to-northwest trajectory and will extend from New York City to Oswego in New York State and continue northwest into Ontario, Canada.

Those who are watching at just the right moment (no telescope or binoculars necessary) will see an amazing sight:
Regulus will seem to abruptly disappear as if a switch had been thrown.
Regulus will remain invisible for up to 12 seconds (for those situated along the center of the path) — an incredible, albeit very brief occurrence.

One of the brightest stars in the sky, Regulus, will be eclipsed by the asteroid 163 Erigone for up to 14 seconds over the North East USA and Canada on the morning of March 20, 2014.
