Meteor Scatter! So there is a meteor shower going on and your stuck at home and can't watch or get meteor counts. I understand completely. I was in the same position in August when the Perseids were in action. Bored and not happy I searched the internet...that's when I found that there are online radio frequencies where I could listen for meteors. That's right! Listening for the meteors by certain radio frequencies is easy to do. The radio waves end up bouncing off of the meteor and creating a whistling. The whistling sounds like this... ghostly pings courtesy of Spaceweather.com *NOTE: It is important to realize that there is no way to know whether a meteor on the radio is from your target meteor shower or a sporadic.
