Here Come the Leonids 2006

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the eye-in-the-sky dept.

yukk writes "The nights and early morning hours of November 17-19 mark the return of the Leonid meteor shower to the skies of Earth. Viewers along the northeastern coast of the United States and Canada, as well as people in Europe and western Africa might get to see a possible 'outburst' of as many as 100-600 meteors per hour. This spike in activity is predicted for 11:45 p.m. — 1:33 a.m. EST on November 18-19 (4:45 — 6:33 UT on November 19)."

    Yes... I was a bit shocked to see a +5, but if you think about it, thats really the only practical application of this post. And at least for me, its not a dating tip from a /. comment.. its a plan.

    But yes, its a good tip.
