"Start watching on Thursday evening, Dec. 13th, around 10 pm local time," he advises. "At first you might not see very many meteors -- but be patient. The show really heats up after midnight and by dawn on Friday, Dec. 14th, there could be dozens of bright meteors per hour streaking across the sky."</cite><br /> <i class="blog-source">[ <a href="http://science.nasa.gov/headlines/y2007/03dec_asteroidshower.htm">NASA - Asteroid Shower</a> ]</i></p></blockquote> http://sbp.teledyn.com/node/875#comments Mon, 03 Dec 2007 08:44:15 -0500 garym 875 at http://sbp.teledyn.com
