The annual Leonid meteor shower peaked last night — or did it? I’ll be outside tonight at 1 a.m., when we could see an outburst of 250 meteors per hour or more. It’s a narrow window of opportunity starting at about 1 a.m. EST and continuing to dawn.
I wrote about the Leonids and the possibility of tonight’s outburst in my latest column for the The Provincetown Independent.
Meteor shower 250 per hour. Very exciting. What does it look like? An illustrative simulation would be a real eye opener!
