What's that in the sky? It's a bird! It's a plane!

No! It's the super spiffy Leonid Meteor Shower! In the late-night of November 17 (-early morning November 18), the Tempel-Tuttle comet (aka: huge ball of ice and rock) will grace the presence of our sky leaving the most spectacular trail of shooting stars since 1966!

Cool stuff! Perfect time to break out your extra-insulated sleeping bag.

that sounds really neat:-) I saw the meteor shower we had a couple years ago and that was really cool so I'm more than likely gonna stay out to watch this:-) Thanks for sharing!

I used to be able to see this clearly from the roof of my house in Ashland. The most amazing show was the 1997 comet. I have forgotten its name, but it was amazing. It's tail stretched across the entire sky.

I'm all over astronomical phenomena. Let's get out into the cold and watch us some shooting stars.

Kewl. Shooting stars kick bunghole.

I'm new to the area, so I'm wondering if y'all get auroral displays up here? I saw one down in NZ recently, and it was mindblowing. Who needs acid?

i remember when i first saw that comet.. i couldn't pull my eyes away from it, it was amazing. Wasn't it called hallebop? the one where all those people went the way of Jonestown?

If memory serves me right, 1997 was the year hailbop was in the sky.

If memory serves me right, 1997 was the year hailbop was in the sky. I hate being in the city on nights like this. Makes me want to get out of here and go up a mountain to watch the stars like I used to. I might need to see about getting that arranged for this one.
