Meteor Shower: Monday Night/Tuesday Morning

I know some of you might be aware of this, but here's a reminder about this year's Leonid meteor shower. The night of the 16th/17th should be ideal this year since the strongest few hours (the Earth will be moving through the thickest part of the comet debris that causes the shower) will be coinciding with the new moon. If the weather cooperates it could be quite a show.

Thanks Joshua. May have to set the alarm early, or go to bed late, which is it?

thanks Joshua. It's meant to get colder and wetter so we'll see what happens.

Either one Morris. It should be peaking from 11:30 our time until sunrise.
