    You guys are talking about fireflies.....look up Firefly Squid (in Japan) those are some amazing creatures!

    there are some areas of the Park where there are signs warning people not to let kids or pets onto the grass because what's been sprayed is dangerous to them.

    did NYC average 80.0 for the month, Chris?

    a bit far out, but good weather for the peak of the Perseids Aug 12-13?

    NY just passed some of the stiffest drinking water regulations in the country- now applying these regulations to 1,4 Dioxine to Trace amounts (it's a cleaning chemical found in water on Long Island) using a UV cleaning system and using a carbon filtration system to remove PFOA/PFOS....... the new regs will cost $700 million but are worth it for cleaner water. Town of Hempstead is suing Dow for the chemical dump...the extra cost should be passed onto them.

    I dont take these things seriously 5-7 days out but for some reason the mets on WABC have been barking about an "east coast hit" since this morning.

    I just hope we dont go all Florida summer weather and its always humid and in the 90s and we dont ever hit 100. I liked those summers more (91,93,99, 2010, 2011), not the yucky Florida summers we now have.

    why are we still allowing for development along the shore? I know that Miami, New Orleans, Charleston, and NYC all have plans to replenish the sand and even build sea walls to keep the ocean at bay, but at some point it wont be enough. NYC has a trillion dollar plan to extend the coast outwards.

    Yes, that will make Saturn a nice target for my camera. Even without a telescope it can be done with a nice long lens (around 600mm EFL.)

    This has an amazing map showing where Neowise is: https://theskylive.com/planetarium?obj=c2020f3&date=2020-07-20&h=00&m=00#ra|11.840402637121267|dec|45.5351978494491|fov|80

    Yesterday was the way heat is supposed to be! lol NYC was 4 degrees cooler than JFK

    You saw it from Manhattan? How high up was it?
  15. LibertyBell
    isn't supposed to be closest to the earth on Thursday?

    it's the side effects of it, like an overpopulation of nuisance insects and the lengthening allergy season.

    Wait, that was a year before Hale-Bopp? I wonder why I dont remember it in NY, maybe it couldn't be seen from here?
  18. LibertyBell
    bleh I thought JFK reached 90 here yesterday? We did (just barely) hit 90 here in SW Nassau. TV Met on ABC said "all NYC airports hit 90"

    You think one of these years, NASA will explode a nuke on an otherwise mundane comet just to give us a show ;-)
  20. LibertyBell
    aint that the truth. I'm waiting for another one of these "great" comets, I dont think we've had any in our lifetimes?

    I dont have any honey bees but plenty of bumbles, they're always welcome in my yard, and I dont think they sting anyone who doesn't bother them. I do keep my distance from them though...... Once last year one somehow got into my bedroom and I grabbed a pair of gloves and gently put him/her back outside on a flower and s(he) went on their way as if nothing had happened.

    lol here's something funny.....I actually played some common bird sounds I hear on my iPad and I heard those birds calling back from my yard......one was a Grosbeak and the other was an Oriole.
  23. LibertyBell
    glad I dont have THAT! mine was just plain metallic shiny black, only flew a few inches lol. I haven't seen it any more. I was thinking the hissing was some kind of exotic insect (or snake?!), but that's in my Long Island home. The vultures are what I saw in my vacation spot in the Poconos.

    thanks JC! I was wondering if I should wait until it's a bit higher in the sky, but I want it to be brighter than Mag 4, so I guess July 23rd is the best time to see it (both Mag 3 and higher in the sky) Either way, starting this weekend, our skies look to cooperate!

    was mentioned on TWC when they interviewed a beekeeper
