A Short, Sharp, Burst

That’s possibly what will happen tonight with the Leonid meteor shower. More details here. I saw a spectacular Leonid last night – there will probably be some around, but the peak could be really spectacular, if short-lived.

 

Update: Well, there might have been some spectacular meteors – but unfortunately, if there were, they were all happening on the other side of thick cloud cover. Foiled again! Oh well, perhaps next month on the 14/15 December I’ll get a crack at seeing the Geminids.
