Nutsack Clutched August 12, 2009 Share August 12, 2009 ST Article here Apparently it says "2am Singapore time", but if it's 2am singapore time, doesn't that mean it's already over 2am this morning? If it's 1800 GMT, and SG is GMT+8, then shouldn't it be tomorrow morning 2am Aug 13? I'm confused? Anyone going somewhere to watch this? Never seen meteor shower before wonder if there's anything 2 see. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ender Hypersonic August 12, 2009 Share August 12, 2009 (edited) I think this shower last for about a week.. We are ahead by 8hrs. So GMT 1800hrs, 12 Aug, would be SG time 2am, 13Aug... Edited August 12, 2009 by Ender Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thug Clutched August 12, 2009 Share August 12, 2009 Singapore sky is too bright to see it. Just like the widely advertised meteor shower some 10-12 years ago. Went up bird-hill to catch it. End up saw only 6 shooting stars. As for the timing...I'm just as confused as u are. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver_z 1st Gear August 12, 2009 Share August 12, 2009 "East Asia is best placed to see the shower at its most intense moment, which is predicted for 1800 GMT (2am Singapore time) on August 12, according to the US publication Sky and Telescope (skyandtelescope.com)." 1800GMT on August 12. Meaning 13 August 2am SGT. If you google it and click on images, u can see different variations of it. Definitely more spectacular than our NDP fireworks.
