Orionid Meteor Shower Last Saturday Morning (HD Timelapse Video) The Orionid Meteor Shower this year was a bit of a dud. I was shooting up at 11,000 feet in the White Mountains and ran my camera for about 4 hours, from 10:40pm Friday until 2:50am, well after the moon came up. To see how a much more active meteor shower looks, here's one of my Perseid Meteor Shower videos from the same location, displayed on the Discover Magazine blog, best viewed full screen: Perseids, Writ Large http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/badastronomy/2009/08/25/perseids-writ-large/ I have a number of posts on my blog www.MyPhotoGuides.com * related to night shooting and timelapse videos. Here's one of the more recent ones building on those pasts posts: Create a Timelapse Video of a Meteor Shower http://activesole.blogspot.com/2011/08/create-timelapse-video-of-meteor-shower.html I'm curious to see how an HD 720P video gets displayed on G+. I have a ton of timelapse footage that I haven't foun...

ReplyDeleteThis was not a NASA launch, but a private company: Orbital Sciences.
ReplyDeleteOh,my that is sad. So scary glad no one was hurt. Don't get discouraged we still believe in y'all.
ReplyDeleteCrap.
ReplyDeleteNASA didn't build it, or launch it. The entire thing was handled by the commercial company Orbital Sciences Corporation.

ReplyDeleteDian Pink such genius you contain. But it was the poor engineering on part of the muslim scientist.
ReplyDeleteConsidering the crazy things that are taking place all over the world. Anything is up for speculation😯
ReplyDeleteYesterday the first launch went as planned ...me and my family and others watched the rocket across our horizon for eastern nc...but yet I find they say they aborted due to a sailboat? OK the truth...that rocket suffered a malfunction and they were forced to crash it into the ocean....the one that exploded today was a backup..why? Because one...me and about 20 other people saw the first launch yesterday and two...if you people go on youtube...search the video from Mondays "failed" launch u will see that rocket had a black tip...the rocket that blew up 6 seconds after takeoff today had a white tip. What a total failure across the board. ...

ReplyDeleteMy first "solid fool,exploded as fireworks as a child goes Awe.
ReplyDeleteHow did they manage to get to the moon again?
ReplyDeleteJan Wildenhain Technically this was a private company contracted to conduct the resupply mission. I've corrected the description above.
ReplyDeleteJimmy Weathers If that's true, there should be many thousands of witnesses and tens of thousands of photos on the Internet. I'm not disagreeing with you, just looking forward to seeing the evidence.
ReplyDeleteWiiliam Hoffman Yes, apparently the Ukrainian-built first stage failed:

Fortunately there was a "Plan B" for resupply of the ISS:

Interesting that the media is all over the explosion, but not the successful resupply mission which followed only hours later.
You can bet that someone will notice that a Ukranian part failed on the first launch, then a Russian launch succeeded a short while afterwards. Let the conspiracy theories begin.
Jeff Sullivan You mean that the Russians are reaching out a helping hand to US astronauts were we Westerners put them on sanctions ;)
ReplyDeleteJan Wildenhain No, you just said that. It's an international mission with an international crew: http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/station/expeditions/expedition41/index.html#.VFEIBdV4rYg
ReplyDeleteApparently there were redundant international launches scheduled to handle the possibility of a launch failure. Mission accomplished.
Jan Wildenhain what???? Space agencies (public & private)around the globe have been working together for a number of years...regardless of political/religious BS✌
ReplyDeleteJeff Sullivan thanks for that link. It was over shadowed...thanks...I posted🚀
ReplyDeleteOh and just to follow up on my previous post,, if u go onto youtube and look at Mondays "failed" launch...you will see that rocket had a black tip ...the rocket that launched Tuesday was solid white... I've also read reports that other people claimed to have witnessed a rocket launch on Monday too... so something is off
ReplyDeleteRussian engine cause under investigation
ReplyDeletecontrol destroyed it
ReplyDeleteFatin Ibn Saad The thousands of people watching the live feed with audio from the control room did not see any evidence of that.
ReplyDeleteLaunching rockets is a complex and dangerous undertaking, and many rockets have blown up during launch. Sometimes the simple explanation is the most likely. Stuff happens in complex systems, and launch failures probably happen slightly more often in a roughly 50 year old rocket reconditioned to new specifications.
Im joining InstaPhamous as we speak
