Leonids Friday, November 16, 2001
Don't forget the Leonids shower Sunday morning. This year is predicted to be the major storm that happens every 33 years. A two hour show is predicted between 4 and 6am EST, peaking around 5. Then around 3 or 4 am Australia time on the 19th an 8 hour storm is predicted. There may be some visible between midnight and dawn tonight as well. NASA is sending up a plane to monitor it and have also supplied a Java applet that estimates the periods of activity for locations around the world. And here's what I was looking for: where to look. Pick a satellite, look at the Earth. [via Metafilter]
