Leonids 2020

Unread post by Bruce D »

I didn't even think about this year's Leonid shower until just now, did anyone get out the past couple nights? I will probably take a look tonight, not expecting much though...

Hi Bruce,
I heard a report on the radio that a bright meteor was seen over the Northboro, MA region last night. Was it a Leonid? Also, we were so SPOILED by the 2001 Leonid Storm, that anything else won't be worth getting out of bed for. I counted 168 shooting stars from 5:00-5:30 on that glorious morning. Just another 14 years or so to wait until the next meteor blizzard, weather permitting.
