Just checked for incoming space debris at Spaceflight101...nothing in that area. We'll probably hear about it shortly.   :)

 

/s   Must be a celestial targeting system malfunction.....or...... someone hit the ISS button, I'll go and check...

I'm sorry Gary, It won't happen..............................for a little while.    :D

I know it won't not in this section as this will be my final post in this section. For some strange reason I thought that staff here had some class. Looks like I was wrong.

In the Science section, we also try to have a little bit of fun mixed in with some rather dry stuff at times. We see fireballs all the time. Video's are usually released at the spur of the moment with nothing to support it. Eventually we will see that it gets tracked down.

 

You will also see a  /s beside my statement of a quick investigation I did for you Gary.

 

I think you may have had a bad day...life is too short for this. Post and have some fun.   :D

Nice meteor. Kinda reminds me of the time I saw ball lightning during a thunderstorm.

Yes, I have not been lucky enough to see one in person, just video's but they are astounding events, just like high altitude sprites.

Yeah, I knew it was ball lightning too when it happened when I was in my teens. I've seen shooting star meteors but nothing like this large meteor, which would be interesting to see. Especially in the daytime I'm thinking.

 

Seeing a sprite and/or blue jet with my naked eyes is my absolute wish and dream. I live on top of a hill so I can observe the thunderstorms that pretty far away. When it's warm outside I like to sit in the dark and watch above the storm clouds. :)

With the amount of BS and arguing that happens around here....lighten up

I will lighten up. It would not and did not bother me what Warwagon posted. LOL.. But I hold staff at a higher level. In my opinion Staff should act with the respect that they deserve. I have been a Global Mod at another site and it is a thankless non paying job. But this is a two way street. If the staff here do not treat members with respect they should not expect it in return. :)

You have an interesting double standard. Moderators are people too. From what you said, if @warwagon was a moderator then you would have a problem with his post. But he isn't therefore it is ok?

A double standard that Staff should treat members with Respect and not make fun of their posts?? Sorry but a member of Neowin's Staff should be better than this. If you don't think so, I do not really care. I should mention that I have been drinking beer since 3:00 PM EST so bear with me. That being said, I still stand by how I feel that the Staff here should treat members. Warwagon is not Staff he is the same as you, no more no less. Now can we put this to bed as that is where I am going. Have a great evening one and all!:)

I think of it like this. When I create a thread about anything, a joke or something important. I love ANY replies I can get. Because 

 

A) It bumps my thread to the top of the forum

B) it puts me on the front page for a moment

C) If it looks like it has a few replies more people will open it.

Nice find @Gary7

 

Thanks for the link @Draggendrop!  Bookmarked!  

 

The fireball video is cool.  Love videos of the bigger/brighter meteors lighting up the sky.  

 

Some more information about the event ... and more videos. :)

    • Bluesky COO warns social media regulations could destroy competition from small startups by Paul Hill Fears that increasing government control of social media risks regulatory capture by the biggest social media firms were raised again recently. Bluesky’s chief operating officer said in an interview that social media bans for children and tighter regulations for social media firms risk creating a world where there are only a few social media platforms run by companies with the deepest pockets. Regulations on social media firms have been very lax since they appeared for mainstream users in the 2000’s. This gave Meta, Snapchat, and Google time to build up their user bases and get entrenched, with Meta being the most successful. Now that Meta has succeeded, it has been attempting regulatory capture. By pushing for more regulations of social media, Meta hopes to make it more difficult for rivals to challenge it. For its part, it doesn’t need to worry about the cost of regulation because it has a lot of money to spend, whereas startups do not. Speaking to CNBC, Rose Wang, Bluesky’s chief operating officer, said: “I support the protection and the safety of youth, the question that we have then is at what cost, because essentially what I’m scared of is in the long term, we’re headed to a world where there’s about three to five platforms, and extreme heavy regulation of those platforms, and basically the whole compliance teams of these platforms are 10 times the size of our entire team. So, basically, we’re living in a world where it’s almost impossible for smaller entrants to come in and build healthier spaces. These platforms have led to a place where the bottom line is the thing that drives what they do... so I understand why governments have to step in and regulate, because the platforms have done nothing right.” She said that while she is not against regulation, there needs to be more channels between the small to mid-sized players and regulators to help protect them. She says that big tech players, on the other hand, “who we know are circumventing regulation,” need to be regulated. Essentially, the Bluesky position is one of nuance, rather than absolutes. While Bluesky’s proposal may preserve competition in the social media space, it still doesn’t address the massive privacy implications these age verification measures introduce, such as handing over sensitive identity documents to access age-gated content.
