Space Weather News for Nov. 18, 2003

The 2003 Leonid meteor shower began on Nov. 13th with a mild flurry of
meteors over the Pacific Ocean.  It continues on Wednesday morning, Nov.
19th, with a much stronger peak over the Americas and western Europe.

Sky watchers on the Atlantic side of North America are favored; they could
see as many as 80 meteors per hour between 1:30 a.m. and 4:00 a.m. local
time. Western Europeans and South Americans ought to have a good view,
too, shortly before local sunrise.  (All these times refer to Wednesday
morning, Nov. 19th.)

In western North America and around the Pacific Ocean the display will be
weaker, perhaps 20 to 40 meteors per hour, but that's still a nice shower.
Favored sites include Alaska and Hawaii before dawn on Nov. 19th and Japan
after local midnight on Nov. 20th.
