Here's something to do while waiting for the next satellite pass ...

http://spaceweather.com/ has an audio feed of the meteor pings from the Ursid Meteor Shower as they pass through the Air Force Space Surveillance Radar in Texas. Note: the Ursid radiant is circumpolar (always up) over the radar so the echoes may be heard at any hour, night or day. I've heard 4 pings over the past 45 minutes of listening this morning.
