From www.spaceweather.com. If it is clear, check it out! METEOR SHOWER ALERT: Next weekend, Earth will pass through a stream of debris from Comet 209P/LINEAR. The encounter could spark a new meteor shower. Forecasters aren't sure how many meteors will appear; anything is possible from a complete dud to a magnificent meteor storm. Best estimates fall between 30 and 200 meteors per hour on May 24th between 0600 UT and 0800 UT on May 24th. Get the full story from Science@NASA.
Thanks for the "eyes up", Cris. I hope to catch the shower in Chicagoland!
I'm so sad I missed this!
I saw the title and immediately thought that it would be a good chance to see some cool stuff. Then, I saw the date. Anyone know when the next one will be?
This site offers dates for upcoming showers, including one that will occur this week. http://earthsky.org/astronomy-essentials/earthskys-meteor-shower-guide?gclid=CjwKEAjw2MOhBRCq-Nr87_j-lDASJAAl4FNhHADf8ucRpPlmJaQNE779PEXefn__RXuBFoQNe4vkeBoC27vw_wcB
Thank you for posting. As soon as I saw the title, I automatically clicked to view the results, and was a bit disappointed to see the Date. It was nice of you to give a heads up, and I see that you replied to someone with a link for future dates. It is nice to see that people love to share their knowledge. Thank you for the Link.
