Shooting stars!
Nov. 16th, 2009 12:06 amIt's Leonids week so book some clear skys for Tuesday night. To quote New Scientist,
"Earth will cut across the first such stream around 0900 GMT on 17 November, an event that is expected to produce dozens of meteors an hour. But the spectacle will reach its peak between 2100 and 2200 GMT, as Earth passes through two debris trails left by Tempel-Tuttle in 1466 and 1533."
I think it's utterly great how we can say that these lights in the sky came from that snowball when it visited back in the Age of Princesses. That's awesome.
