Leonid Meteor shower...

Ok, I had heard vague rumours of this shower but didn't know what a 'Leonid' was, so this is what Wikipedia has to say :
"The Leonids are a prolific meteor shower associated with the comet Tempel-Tuttle. The Leonids get their name from the location of their radiant in the constellation Leo: the meteors appear to stream from that point in the sky. The 2009 display peaking on November 17 may produce more than 500 meteors an hour"
Oooooh, much excitement in our household! (well, from me in any case, Mr Boo finds space a bit daunting I think, and prefers not to look at it...) I however, very much enjoy a bit of star gazing...Further research tells me there will be a Geminid meteor shower in December, (which interests me, as a Gemini y'see...) although it's always possible I was looking at an old website, I'll have to check...In the meanwhile, all eyes to the sky people! (That is to say, people, look at the sky, not look at the 'sky people', I don't know anything about the existence of such folk, if there are sky people, they may well wish to be left alone...far be for me to tell you go peeking at them...)
