Hopefully you’ll be somewhere with better weather than I see at the moment (heard yesterday we’re an inch away from hitting the “single most precip in a year” mark), so the following news will work for you:
Stargazers in New England and New York could see an “outburst” of hundreds of meteors Saturday night during the annual Leonid meteor shower, although expected cloud cover could shield Capital Region residents from the best view.
A typical Leonid shower brings 10 to 20 meteors an hour under ideal viewing conditions — a dark sky filled with stars and free of light pollution. But this year, the Earth is passing through one of the comet’s dense trails of debris, causing the concentration of activity.
