Sky watching event
Although Tekmar is in the clouds business, we hope there none in the way of this event. Technology clouds never get in the way of sky watching events. Learn more about cloud computing… If you look up you might see 10 to 20 meteors per hour at the peak on the mornings of April 22 and 23, with the nod going to April 23.
Awesome Lyrid prospects this year!

Looking at the sky is something I find myself doing a lot these days. What is the frequency of each sky watching event for you? It’s kind of like how many times we touch are faces in a day. Suffice it to say that it is a lot. The touching the face thing is not a wacky as it sound in “Contagion (2011 Movie): Is it true that the average person touches their face between 2,000 and 3,000 times per day?”
For face touching it is more in the range from 2-136. That is still a lot, roughly 2 minutes per day. I look toward the sky a lot more than I touch my face. That is not only because of the cloud technology metaphor. More and more of our information is stored in the “sky”. I look skyward because it is captivating. That is why the metaphor is so powerful. Also, I am looking up in the sky because of Triad Skycam, a sky watching event is happen more regularly every day. It has me thinking about drone videography and aerial views increasing profitability for earthbound real estate.
Sky watching event vs. Watching from the sky with safe affordable Triad Skycam drone technology.
Coming soon is an annual sky watching event…
that should be really spectacular this year. We are going to get footage from one of our fleet of drones if the real clouds permit.

The annual Lyrid meteor shower is active each year from about April 16 to 25. In 2015, the peak of this shower – which tends to come in a burst and usually lasts for less than a day – will fall on the mornings of April 22 or 23, with the nod going to the later date. The greatest number of meteors should fall during the few hours before dawn on either date. In 2015, a waxing crescent moon will set in the evening on the days around the Lyrids’ peak, leaving a dark for watching meteors. All in all … awesome Lyrid meteor shower prospects this year!
