An Update on our Universe Today

[N P Childs]

FYI:

Some sites with information on the upcoming Leonid shower, most reasonable 
sites will hedge their bets about how big this one could be. Note that for 
most places the peak will be at around 3:00 a.m. local time, the 'flux 
estimator' at the NASA site will calculate the likely peak for your area, 
if you have the latitude and longitude

This site:

http://see.msfc.nasa.gov/see/Leonid_Forecast_2001.html

provides estimated peaks for 30 U.S A and 30 non-U.S. cities.

I dunno, awe inspiring meteor shower or no, I'm looking to the quiet of 
standing in the cold and dark at 3:00 a.m. gawking at the eastern sky, as 
are my (geek in training) kids......
