THREE METEOR SHOWERS IN ONE NIGHT: Be alert for fireballs tonight, July 30th. Earth is passing through debris streams from three comets: 169P/NEAT, 96P/Machholz, and 109P/Swift-Tuttle. Respectively, these produce the alpha Capricornid, southern delta Aquariid, and Perseid meteor showers. (Earth is only in the outskirts of the Perseid stream.) Together, the three showers will combine for as many as 20 meteors per hour with a sprinkling of bright fireballs after local midnight.
Pay attention to 6M during Meteor Showers and make a few new contacts!

Description: A 10cm radio burst indicates that the electromagnetic burst associated with a solar flare at the 10cm wavelength was double or greater than the initial 10cm radio background. This can be indicative of significant radio noise in association with a solar flare. This noise is generally short-lived but can cause interference for sensitive receivers including radar, GPS, and satellite communications.
