nekrosoft13 Posted November 19, 2002 Share Posted November 19, 2002 Tuesday morning may be the last chance until 2099 to see a truly spectacular meteor shower, scientists say. You'll have to be up and outside by 4:30 a.m. CST (around 5:30 a.m. EST or 10:30 UT) to see it though. In ordinary years, sky gazers watching a meteor shower might see about ten meteors per hour. This year, however, scientists expect a full-fledged meteor storm. Astronomers at the European Space Agency (ESA) are predicting that Europeans might see 3,000 per hour. Night owls in North America can expect to see a few hundred an hour, estimate.
