Meteor shower .

EP
===





Never really observed a meteor shower ,

Per the News headline yesterday , The Leonid Meteor Shower peaks on
early morning of 17 & 18 Nov at around 5:40 – 6:10AM . If weather is fine ,
most countries over North America and Asia , specially in Mainland China can
observe the very sprinkling meteor shower without using telescope ,
Predicting 200 – 300 meteors per hour shooting across the sky .


Well …. The weather in Hong Kong is not so stable this week , it is cloudy ,
rainy and chilly . Per the early news this morning , about 1,000 citizen gathered
in Tai Po Plover Cove Reservoir ,hoping to observe the meteor shower however
was a disappointment due to very bad weather .


Another huge meteor shower next time will be 16 years later .
Guess ... still have to wait if i haven't turned into fossil .
