The Leonids meteor shower is now active and viewable from The Canaries. I've seen at least one each evening for the last 3 or 4 nights.

Hi All.

Got some tin fish and yogurt plus water from home, got him off the road and he was just panting lying there but eventually smelled the fish and started eating... Such a relief! Hoping he will be ok now. First one we have seen on the island. Made me think what difficult life the poor critters have, where can they even get water from here?! :-(

Me and my fiancee are living close to a bar. Since the government relaxed the COVID restrictions the bar owners increased the music and noise is unbearable until 2, sometimes 3 am. I tried talking to them a couple of times, but with no success. Do you know who should I call? Local Police? What is their number? And which are the quiet hours by law in the Canary islands? We live in Puerto...

The skies above the Canary Islands are set to host one of the year’s most varied astronomical spectacles in the next couple of weeks. On the night of 27th June, no fewer than four meteor showers will coincide: the Tau Cetids, Scutids, Rho Sagittarids and the June Bootids.

Although each of these showers typically produces low or irregular activity, their simultaneous appearance makes this one of the most dynamic nights in the astronomical Calendar.

The Bootids, radiating from the constell
