[LargeFormat] Tempel-Tuttle Comet - Shooting Stars Tonight!

[Clive Warren]

Dear All,

Tonight (at least in the UK) will be the best display of shooting stars 
unlikely to be rivalled for over a century. The Earth crosses the the 
comet's debris trail this evening and if we have clear weather there will 
be over 1000 meteors per hour visible. This is a once in a lifetime 
opportunity to see a superb light show. The fireworks will come from the 
Leonids which rise in the east and will start at around 11pm, finishing at 
around 5pm and will be at its peak at 4am.

Look North or South, away from the moon, 90 degrees from the meteor's 
eastern origin.

Now is the time to dig out that Aero Ektar and wait for the biggest display 
since 1966. The shooting stars will be visible even through the 
streetlights and light from the moon.

Good luck tonight!

Cheers,
             Clive
