Meteor shower november 2009
An article at National Geographic reports that the 2009 Leonid Meteor Shower might have a strong outburst where rates reach up to 300 per hour. The shower is expected to peak between 2 and 4 AM on November 17th.
Leonid meteor showers are some of the most prominent among the shooting stars visible to the naked eye.
“We’re predicting 20 to 30 meteors per hour over the Americas, and as many as 200 to 300 per hour over Asia,” says Bill Cooke of NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center. “Our forecast is in good accord with independent theoretical work by other astronomers.”
Nasa astronomers said last December – immediately after the last Lenoid shower – that in 2009, the meteor shower will be bigger and brighter. According to them, the November 2008 Leonid storm of shooting stars broke several earlier years of relative “quiet.”
