Help! I need clarification. A long time ago there was some discussion about the Leonids meteor shower. The date I wrote down was 11/17-18 but since then someone else said they looked it up and it was 11/10-13. What is the real poop? Does anyone know?

Debbie, you were right--the Leonid shower is predicted for the evening of Wed 11/17 into the wee hours of Thurs 11/18. And you're lucky for your location. According to Sky and Telescope mag, it's likely that those near the east coast will have the best view. They've calculated the time that the earth will cross the comet's orbital plane, etc. If you have a good view, please pass along the report! regards from hou, janet lowry *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - All postings copyright the author and not to be reproduced outside PaddleWise without author's permission Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.paddlewise.net/ ***************************************************************************
