LEONID METEOR SHOWER!!!

[silent sniper]

is expected to begin in about 2 hours

earth is passing through the 1446 stream of comets, closer to the action than last time it passed. apparently asia gets the best view,and us north americans get somewhat screwed, it should be a rate of 500 visible meteors an hour.

discuss this shiz here

Studying for a Stats midterm tomorrow, can't wait.

 

[Brian117]

Cool! Getting ready to go watch outside in about 9 more minutes.

Waiting until about 3 AM EST... I hear that is the start of the peak?

 

[Rock Raiyu]

[tinymonkeyt]

I didn't see anything, and im in the middle-east, must have fallen asleep whilst waiting, and then woken up without realizing i had fallen asleep.

I can't believe i missed this, i should have had the best view.

We must prepare the anti-northen-hemisphere ray!
That'll teach them for watching a meteor shower without us!
