The real story may be the extent of the Leonid meteor shower in 1999. At this point, I don't believe the experts know how intense it may be, but I read somewhere that it could be more intense than this year's, which is supposed to "hit" at a rate of 15,000+ per hour (normal for the Leonid is about 300, if I remember right). There indeed could be damage. While most of the particles are no bigger than a grain of sand, they are traveling at something like 55 times the speed of a bullet. I just hope it misses the Hubble! By the way, the best show will be in Asia. Unfortunately, it'll be daylight in the States. Ken
