Good Morning,
Leonid Shower Peak has been predicted at 9pm EST. They will travel from
east to west. Count could be over 1000 per hour. I put no stock in the
prediction. It could be early or late. Leo's head will be in the east at
11pm. The federal parks are closed at sunset,but the astronomy club will be
at Chickamauga Park recreation field near Wilder Tower. I belive there is
another shower Taurids. These meteors are slow, bright, and coming out of
the north.
