Metero Shower Expected This Weekend


The Leonid meteor shower is expected this weekend. Robert Roy Britt, Senior Space Writer of Space.com, says that tomorrow (November 18th) at approximately 11:45 p.m. ET there will be a "brief surge of activity" in the skies. He also reports that the meteor shower could last up to 2 hours. And over 100 shooting stars can possibly be viewed during this time.

Although the image at right looks like a painting it's actually a photo taken 5 years ago in Bejing, Najing.
