2006 Leonid Meteor Shower

Newspaper

article by Matthew Vea (VnutZ) on 18 November 2006, tagged as space

Astronomy buffs in Europe and America’s East Coast will be treated to a particularly powerful meteor shower this year. Barring weather, at 11:30pm EST on November 18th, viewing conditions will be excellent due to the new moon. If skies are overcast, however, try "listening; to the radio signals generated by shower’s electrified trails. Practiced observers say that even more meteors can be detected via radio waves than can be seen with the naked eye. For more information on this annual event, check out the Top 10 Leonid facts.

meteor shower by stacybobacy :: NR0

My friend Kelley and I were unable to see any and meteor activiy from my backyard in the Houston area. We did however get to enjoy a lovely crisp night with a cup of hot chocolate. We kept ourselves entertained by trying to remember the names of constellations. I didn’t get far past "The Big Dipper".

A bust. Too many clouds, very few meteors. A good excuse for a family get-together, and astronomy 101 for the city kids.

Stymied by Mother Nature by VnutZ :: NR10

Yep, the last time I saw a good round of the Leonids was from Georgia in 2001. Ever since, I have been foiled by a combination of mother nature or military assignment on some end of the Earth that was not conducive for meteor viewing. I was able to catch a "weak" glimpse of them from Korea one evening in 2002 with about one meteor every five minutes.

If you ever have the chance to watch a meteor shower through Night Vision devices, it’s a unique experience.

Florida no-go by Anonymous :: NR0

Had a perfect crisp spot in Southern Florida, no dice though. Saw one meteor and one alligator.
