  LEONIDS Meteor ShowerLEONID METEOR SHOWER ALERT: Earth is approaching the debris zone of Comet 55P/Tempel-Tuttle, source of the annual Leonid meteor shower. Forecasters expect a minor peak of 15 meteors per hour on Nov. 17th (~2300 UT), followed by a more intense peak on Nov. 19th (~0600 UT). How intense? Estimates range from 50 to 200 meteors per hour.
The possible Nov. 19th outburst is associated with a dense stream of debris ejected from the comet in 1733. Its timing favors observers in the eastern half of North America, who should be alert for meteor activity this Saturday morning between 1:00 and 1:30 am EST.
