This year I missed the Persig Showers which occur mid-August. I was
disappointed because it is an annual event I enjoy very much. When I
recently received a Cosmology newsletter that included information about
the Great Leonid Meteor Storm, my enthusiasm for another opportunity this
year picked up.
On Tuesday, November 17, the Earth will cross the orbit of Comet
Tempel-Tuttle, which will sweep up thousands of tons of comet debris made
up of tiny particles of comet dust and grit and will produce a celestial
fireworks extravaganza of "epic proportions in Earth's upper atmosphere."
We may be able to view in dark skies as many as 100-300 meteors an hour
between 12:00 a.m. midnight on Monday 11/16 till dawn on Tuesday 11/16.
