Trav, I may have been into Astronomy for about 44 years (23 years actual 'scoping), but I don't know much. I just look, image, and go 'Wow!' a lot

As far as Fireballs go, no-one knows when they will come. Some meteor showers are more prone to fireball type meteors, many aren't. And sporadics are totally unpredictable.

Space junk may be pre-warned but not often.

You just have to keep your eyes on the skies as much as possible
