Invaders from Space! Leonid Showers tonight.

Posted by chrisd on Saturday November 17, 2001 @06:21AM from the no-it-is-not-a-ufo-you-yokel dept.

Space.Com, Astronomy Magazine and The American Meteor Society all have tons of information, viewing guides and historical perspectives for you to peruse in anticipation of tonight Lonid meteor shower. Many are predicting a once in a lifetime event, as the Earth is expected to swing through 3 debris trails laid down by Comet 55p/Temple-Tuttle. One article mentions that up to 10,000 events per hour could be in the offing. So if you feel like staying up till 2am pst (10 ut) you'll be able to check it out. I know we've been hyping this event, but, well, we are okay with this.

Please allow the grammar nazi to offer some advice.
Leonid Showers Tonight. That is a sentence. Leonid (subject) showers (verb) tonight (preposition).
Technically, it 'showers' should be a noun and Leonid and adjective, but then it would be a sentence fragment. Grammatically it is correct, so I'm happy.
