Leonid Meteor Shower This Weekend

I love shooting stars! And, Robert Roy Britt, a senior science writer at Space.com, say they are predicting that in North America at the peak of the meteor shower, we could see up to 150 shooting stars per hour! When is this peak? 10:45pm CST on Saturday, November 18th.

"The annual Leonid Meteor Shower could produce a strong outburst this weekend for residents of eastern North America and Western Europe."
Plus, you don't need any special equipment to view a meteor shower. But, I would recommend dressing warmly...it could be a chilly night.
