Occurring between 14 and 20 November each year, the Leonids is associated with Comet 55P/Tempel-Tuttle. Its radiant is at right ascension 10 hours 14 minutes and declination +22 degrees, lying close to the third magnitude star Adhafera (Zeta Leonis) in the constellation Leo. Unlike in 1999, astronomers estimate that more than one trail may produce substantial activity.
This is quoted from the Hong Kong Space Museum Website. Joined the fellowship gang at the HKUST shore area, I saw the most magnificent event of my life! The meteors slashed across the sky with heart-pounding power. Each strike was an adrenalin rush. Eye witnessing one strike after another clear the last remaining bit of doubt about my religious believe that God created ALL things. Although I was trying very hard to focus on making worldly-wise wishes, such as hitting the Mark 6 jackpot, every time the meteoroid burnt the skyscape, my heart could not feel anything else but awe!
