In 5 days, on the 17th of November theres goin' to be a Meteor Shower.
As the Earth orbits through a Comet's tail that passed through over 500 years ago in 1466, theres goin' to be pea sized dust particles that'll burn up in our atmosphere.
There should be about 500 "shooting stars" an hour, over most of Asia.
North America wont get that many, it'll prolly peak at around 100 an hour.
And lil' ol' me down here wont get any, this makes me sad. But if anyone can get any pictures for meh, i'd have your children.
It'll take place from around 3am to 5am EST.
So I'd suggest grabbin' a few beers and mates and perch yourself on top of your roof to enjoy the show. S'what i'd do.
I freakin' love this kinda stuff and anything to do with Astronomy but sadly you need a degree to look through a telescope all day, heh.
And this is a pretty awesome vid of a much larger Meteor. People think that its a fake, Im undecided. Looks real enough but it was posted by a film production company, so who knows.
Anyways, enjoy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3dan3wM3rns
