Tonight we go LIVE with no fixed target and no script - just the universe above us.
We’ll explore whatever the night sky gives us tonight - galaxies, nebulae, star clusters, planets, the Moon, and maybe a few surprises along the way.
Some nights everything changes in minutes. Seeing conditions shift, objects rise higher, details suddenly appear, and unexpected moments happen live on camera. That’s what makes nights like this special.
Grab a coffee, relax under the stars, and come explore space with us in real time.
LIVE from the telescope - anything can happen tonight.

![MASSIVE FIREBALLS — SOMETHING CHANGED
Something is happening with fireballs — and the data backs it up.
In the first quarter of 2026, the American Meteor Society logged 2,322 fireball events — the highest total on record. But the raw count isnt the strange part. What changed is the number of high-witness events: 40 fireballs drew 50+ reports (versus an average of ~20), and 16 drew 100+ (versus ~8). Long-duration sighting reports hit 1,693 — more than 2.5x the previous record of 651 set in 2021.
In this video I go through the CNEOS (NASAs Center for Near-Earth Object Studies) fireball database event by event — checking the size, speed, and energy of these incoming objects, cross-referencing the eyewitness reports, and looking at the footage people captured across the US and Europe. Some are tiny airbursts. Some are earth-grazers trying to escape the atmosphere. And a few of them still dont have an easy explanation.
AMS points to one likely factor — AI assistants sending more people to report — but that alone doesnt account for the elevated sonic booms or the recovered meteorite falls. So whats actually going on? Lets look at the data together.
Happy July 4th, Rayliens. This is my way of showing you the fireworks.
