there you go meteor fans...

i remember last years meteor shower(s)...

it was CRAZY!!!

There seemed to be quite some activity in the last few weeks. I was travelling in europe and on two occasions i was seeing 2-3 meteors a minute. It was only in short bursts. Can't wait for the shower. I now have to find someone to drive me out in the country.

2-3 a minute kool

once (last year i think) i saw about 10 a minute for a couple of minuts...

it was CRAZY

That must have been quite a show. Best show I had was about 5-6 a minute. I hope another storm like the 1966 Leonids shower happens sometime in my life. It'd be quite the spectacle.

how many a minute was that one???

i wish to see another spectacle this year also...

The 1966 shower at it's peak had over 100,000 meteors an hour. That's over 1000 meteors every minute. Now that's what I call a shower.
