Swimtech's reminder of the Leonid Meteor showers tonight!

vidfan · Nov 19, 2006, 12:28 AM

Swimtech asked me to post for him because he had to go to work...

The Leonid Meteor showers are tonight for those of you who can see them...very cool if you have never experienced it! We have to dress in blankets because its quite chilly tonight! Enjoy!

And thank you to those of you who have given him so much support and encouragement...I don't know you all, but I feel like I know quite a few of you members here through all of swimtechs conversations! Thanks again!

so, where do you have to be in order to experience this?

Estimates range from 0445 UT to 0630 UT on Nov. 19th (11:45 p.m. on Nov. 18th to 1:30 am EST on Nov. 19th). The timing favors western Europe, Africa, Brazil and eastern parts of North America

A friend of mine saw it partially as we were leaving. It was a very clear night and the stars were brighter than usual.
