P3D meteors

[Bob Wier <wier@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Just a reminder - the Leonaids meteor shower should show up
early Thursday morning if anyone is planning on trying to do
some photography. The USA will not be in a good position to 
observe the peak, but meteor shower peaks are unpredictible, so...

see http://www.leonidslive.com/

for more details, such as:

Could this be a taste of things to come in the next 24 hours? Possibly. The
 Leonid meteor shower is expected to peak this Thursday morning when the
Earth slices through the debris stream of comet Tempel-Tuttle around 0200 UT
 on November 18. Last year a shower of Leonid fireballs (meteors brighter than
magnitude -3) dazzled observers in Europe and the Americas. In 1999 many
experts anticipate an even better show. No matter where you live, the best time
to watch will be between midnight and dawn on Thursday. On Wednesday
evening, November 17, before the constellation Leo rises, star gazers could be
treated to more Earth grazers as Leonid meteoroids arc over the horizon.
