- thebeginning, on 11/16/2009, -1/+26That was sexual.
- brownytravis, on 11/16/2009, -0/+19Best times to watch in countries all over the world: http://www.tabwin.com/leonids
- bluehouse, on 11/16/2009, -1/+15why choose when you can do both!
- Otto, on 11/16/2009, -0/+11For anybody not down with dates and times, that is *TONIGHT*: Tuesday *morning*. I've had to explain this half a dozen times. To idiots.
- sleestakslayer, on 11/16/2009, -0/+10Yes it is if there is no cloud cover.
- WiretapStudios, on 11/16/2009, -1/+11...or possibly LSD related.
- haikuFU, on 11/17/2009, -0/+9Then I plan to peek in your shower on tuesday.
- thebeginning, on 11/16/2009, -1/+8Maaan it'll be so much cooler in Asia.
- Kungfumantis239, on 11/16/2009, -0/+7If anyone has a small child I would definitely recommend waking them up to watch this - it's something neither you or them will ever forget, and you never know, you may inspire the next Carl Sagan.
- Shitokki, on 11/16/2009, -4/+112012? BS. We're all going to die now! ahhhhhhhhhhhh
- Netmindstorm, on 11/16/2009, -0/+6From space.com: "The best seats are in Asia, but North American observers should be treated to an above average performance of the Leonid meteor shower, weather permitting. The trick for all observers is to head outside in the wee hours of the morning – between 1 a.m. and dawn – regardless where you live. "
- quacker912, on 11/16/2009, -0/+5Anyone who has actually watched one of these - is it even worth me sitting outside in the cold and watching?
- toonerz, on 11/16/2009, -0/+4The comet passes through our solar system every 33 years, but we go through the streak of dust it leaves behind every year.
- Jnewman83, on 11/16/2009, -0/+3Without a doubt its worth it....
- LPfmAAF, on 11/17/2009, -0/+3It's the same with solar eclipses.
- Otto, on 11/16/2009, -0/+3Supposedly pretty cool. Except it's below them.
http://science.nasa.gov/headlines/y2002/17may_issm ... - DesertTripper, on 11/16/2009, -0/+3We went to the dez to watch the 2001 Leonids. Found a great overlook in the Chuckwalla Mountains and pitched a tent. It was an awesome show.
- lazyslacker, on 11/17/2009, -0/+2So, they were random then? Like maybe the animals made some car horn noises, then some teapot noises, and you the chance of you ending up on any country road in the world was equal that night? That's pretty weird, man.
- JoeNaguib, on 11/17/2009, -0/+2I just came back from watching it, still pretty cool!
- XTomTomX, on 11/16/2009, -0/+2The Earth needs a shower.
- jshriver, on 11/16/2009, -1/+3I don't understand, it says this happens once every 33 years at the beginning of the article, then goes on to say that from 1999-2002 the stream had over 1k meteors per hour.
- factsahoy, on 11/17/2009, -0/+2modded up for proper use of "were"
- factsahoy, on 11/17/2009, -0/+2That's what she said.
- factsahoy, on 11/17/2009, -0/+2Only if you stand a chance of making out with a cutie at the same time.
- HarjasK, on 11/17/2009, -0/+1Its was beautiful!! Caught only a couple streaks of it because of all the city lights around though:-(
- sipsyrup, on 11/16/2009, -0/+1I wonder how the view in the ISS is. God I wish I were up there
- gitrplaya4u, on 11/16/2009, -0/+1"High-altitude sites are best for viewing, reducing glare from the moon"

- yearofglad, on 11/16/2009, -0/+1"Night of your birth. Thirty-three. The Leonids they were called. God how the stars did fall. I looked for blackness, holes in the heavens. The Dipper stove."

- sanagalrc, on 11/16/2009, -1/+1Also if you're not scared of random animal noises like my girlfriend the one time I took her out to a random country road to see one.
- Enjoikr3w, on 11/16/2009, -1/+1I'm really bad with time zones so if someone can confirm this I would appreciate it. Can I expect the shower around 2:30-4:30am US,central time?
