November 17, 2008 - The Leonids Meteor Showers and Viewing Tips
Advertisements [?]
Edited on Sun Nov-16-08 03:57 AM by Dover


The Leonids are a prolific meteor shower associated with the comet Tempel-Tuttle.

The 2008 Leonids are expected to be at their best in the wee hours before dawn Monday morning, November 17. But the bright waning gibbous moon will obscure much of it.

Scientists believe that there will be a major outburst between 12:01 AM and 12:30 AM Universal Time.
