Well I liked your post! Very interesting. Did you ever read Igor Stravinsky's "Rites of August" or his "World's In Collision" series of books? parsy.

Grab a sleeping bag and camp out for the night ping! Does anyone know if the infamous Seventh Planet will be in the sky at the same time? If so, the conjunction of that planet with the meteor shower will be a powerful omen.

the Perseid particles hit the top of the Earth's atmosphere at 135,000 mph That's near the top limit of speed for incoming objects that are part of the solar system already. If the main object [6 miles] ever hits earth it could vaporize a significant part of a continent.

This from
Frostydrew:
Uranus rises at 7:50 PM and sets at 6:17 AM. Uranus, in Capricorn, is in the eastern sky this evening. Uranus will spend 2002 oscillating along the border between Capricorn and Aquarius before moving totally into Aquarius in 2003. Uranus looks like a dim green star. Uranus is just on the borderline of visibility to the unaided eye. In practice, you'll need binoculars to see it.
What sort of omen did you have in mind?

Not Stravinsky, he wrote the Rite of Spring, the great symphony.
Immanuel Velikovsky wrote Worlds In Collision, postulating his idea that the inner planets were not always in such regular and good-neighborly orbit.

Doesn't look like I'll get to see this one- it's really overcast outside :-(
Maybe I'll get to see the asteroid on the 18th though, fingers crossed.

If so, the conjunction of that planet with the meteor shower will be a powerful omen. No doubt it has great import with respect to the "Sacred Geometry" and it's associated "vibrational resonances" depicted in crop-circles. Be sure to alert the Perpetually Turgid One of this information....
