For North American skywatchers, Earth will enter the heavier parts of the stream at about 11 p.m. EST on Saturday, Nov. 17. Activity will peak around 5 a.m. Sunday morning, when as many as 13 meteors per minute could be visible, likely for a stretch of time that lasts less than 1 hour. The peak corresponds to 4 a.m. CST, 3 a.m. MST and 2 a.m. PST.
During one Humanities lecture, my senior year at UNC-Asheville, I had the pleasure of listening to a Dr. Moog lecture on Electronic Music/Music Synthesizers. He gave a brief summary of how he developed his synthesizer and showed where it had been used in the media -- one example was a beer ad in 1969 (I can't remember what it was). He also had a Theremin set up and played it for everyone (he's pretty good at it!). I didn't realize that the "spooky" sounds during old '50s horror/sci-fi movies were made using the Theremin, as he told us. He is one amazing guy!

And I thought Humanities was boring!
