For anyone interested in astronomy, the Leonid meteor shower will be peaking soon. It's supposed to be good for those of us in North and Central America this year, no interference from the moon.

The peak in shower activity will occur between 4:00 and 6:00 a.m. EST, or 1:00 and 3:00 a.m. PST on Sunday morning, November 18. "During the peak, people viewing under clear and dark skies could see meteors shooting across the sky at a rate of 1,000 to 2,000 per hour, with flurries of one meteor per second at the peak of the storm," says Robert Naeye, Editor of Mercury magazine, which is published in San Francisco by the Astronomical Society of the Pacific (ASP).

I was at my brother-in-law's house last Saturday, and the "big thing" to do up there is go to a maze made in someone's corn field. Anyway, after spending the last half-hour walking around in the dark with a 2 year old sleeping on my back, I said "enough" and took the kids out of the maze. While we were sitting there, I saw 2 "shooting stars", and 5 satellites go overhead. As you can imagine, it is really dark in the middle of 5 acres of corn, lol.

BTW, for anyone interested in looking at satellites or the International Space Station, check out www.heavens-above.com Their predictions are dead-on accurate. And if you've never seen an "Iridium flare" check out that section as well, they are awesome!
