Aurigid Meteor Shower - 08-31-2007, 11:52 AM


Well I missed the Lunar Eclipse this week, but will definately stay up for this! Will have my camera with me as well.

This very rare shower will occur again on 1 September 2007. A brief shower of meteors will radiate from the constellation of Auriga, many as bright as the brighter stars in the sky. For its 10-minute peak, meteors will average two per minute! These are the remnants of a comet that last traveled by Earth over 2000 years ago. The Earth will be in the thick of it during the one hour centered on 04:36 a.m. PDT.
