Leonids

Post by Wesley »

Hey, if anyone reads this and it is before 4am you should run outside and try to see some shooting stars. It is the peak of the leonid meteor shower. It is cloudy where I am, so I get nothing. Sad face.

When I was a kid I used to stay up and watch the meteor showers all night. Not so much anymore. I worked on a project last night until I couldn't keep my eyes on the monitor anymore because they burned. They still burn.

Last night was the peak, but I am sure if you go out tonight you will see a shooting star or two. I am going to give it another shot.

You don't have to go out at 4am. That was the peak. We are now cruising through the thin parts. Fewer meteors, less often, but still a better chance than most nights to see a shooting star. If you are out after dark, just spend a few minutes looking up!

I think it would be a lot more then a shooting star , it like the pieces of the Leonid (right ? so there's lots..). it will be beautiful i bet .
But its too cold and nothing to do till 4am . this is why i say old. And no alarm clock is invented that can wake me up
:(
i think you will see some tonight and so does blondie at her 3-4 am..

I repeat: You do NOT have to go out at 4am. That was last night. 12 hours ago. For the next few days, anytime after dark you may see a shooting star, so stay alert!




By the way, you don't have to wait until 4 am. Not 4am. Don't wait until 4am. Do it before 4am. or after. whenever it is good for you. If 4am is good for you, then great! But you will be 24hours late. That was last night. Now you have no better chance at 4am than at 11 PM. So just do it, whenever. Not 4am.

Yeah, I just posted a link to your question in ASK THE ZOT. Splitting hairs aside, I hope somebody gets to see a few shooting stars. If we could all see a few, that would be a cool thing that we can share with each other. I see a shooting star and Clarence and Bella and Effie and Dows and.... well, if we all got to see at least one, it would be like we were watching the same event. Pretty cool.

Yeah ,, he he he he . In my own way i was right .
Well now when i'm not hungry i did a search to find out that the next best aportunity for ME to get to see some , was an hour ago .. when i was arguing . Now there is no chance for me to see any . Coz it was like the next ''wave'' of pieces or whatever you call'em .
Too tired anyway.
