In a remote corner of New Mexico, amateur astronomer Thomas Ashcraft has found that he can tell when a meteor is shooting overhead with his eyes closed. You can do it, too. Position your mouse over the image below. Close your eyes, and click:

Did you hear it? About 16 seconds into movie, a Perseid fireball split the screen and produced an eerie warbling sound.

"That sound was a radio echo, caused by distant radio stations bouncing off the meteor's trail," explains Ashcraft, who operates a combo all-sky camera and radio meteor monitoring station at his home in New Mexico. He recorded the fireball during the peak of the Perseid meteor shower on August 13th.

THE ECLIPSE!

It's over now. The full Moon has just finished gliding through Earth's shadow, a transit that produced an 81% partial lunar eclipse visible from every continent except North America. "It was a wonderful sight in the early morning sky of Bright, Australia," reports Rob Kaufman. "This shot of the setting eclipse was taken with a Canon 400D, 1 second at ISO 400."

Penguins

Nils Olav, an Edinburgh Zoo penguin and Colonel-in-Chief of the Norwegian King's Guard, an elite unit tasked with protecting the Norwegian royal family, inspects soldiers of his regiment as they visit him in Edinburgh, Scotland, Friday Aug. 15, 2008, where he was presented with a medal. The original Nils Olav first became an honorary member of the regiment in 1972, when a young lieutenant called Nils Egelien visited the penguins at the zoo, but died in the 1980s, and was replaced by the current Nils Olav.(AP Photo/David Cheskin-pa)
