Hi All, I've just heard on the news that they except one-in-life-time meteor shower tonight (US time), - with the peak between 12:45am (Tuesday) EDT and 1:something (30? 50?)am. They expect up to 1000 "shooting stars" per hour rate. I am surprised nobody has mentioned it here... I hope this message coudl be useful to someone.... Igor
