Hi Guys, I just logged on to say I think I screwed up, I was looking at today's newspaper and saw that the peak day for the Leonids this year is November 17. Local paper also says this is "a truly once in a lifetime event," because the shower peaks every 33 years, but, for reasons having to do with the path around the sun, this storm will not recur until 2098 or 2131. Unfortunately, local paper isn't all that well-written, so the explanation isn't so hot, but they do give web sites (clearly screwy, so I am taking a wild guess): ok, both web site URLs are FUBAR, and I am going back to finish "The Devil's Advocate," so you are on your own, but here 'tis anyway FWIW. space.arc.nasa.gov spacecom.af.mil I have been trying to catch a good one of these suckers for decades. Go out into the night, lean back on the hood of your car, and watch. Do it! Aloha, CobaltBlue
