On Tuesday, November 19th, go to a mountaintop in the Adirondacks at 5:20 AM

ARE YOU WONDERING...

  • What is the best location for viewing the 2002 Leonid meteor shower?
  • What night do I need to go out to see the the shower from my hometown?
  • How active is the shower expected to be?

Then you need NASA's Flux Capaci..., er, Estimator.

My best place viewing the Leonids was leaning up against the side of a Van, sometime in the middle of the night in the middle of one of the Carolinas with 11 complete strangers on the way back from the SOA protest two years ago.

I hear last year's was the greatest. Or was that the Perseids?



I've never seen the Leonids or Perseids. This year's shower is supposed to be the biggest one for the next 30 years, but there's also a full moon.

Cool. We had so much fun last time. We went up to a park nearby and stood there looking up. There were people with lawn chairs and blankets. It was freezing! If this time is supposed to be bigger than the last, it should be amazing.
