| Nearly every year we get some form of
| |
| | which are notable as you can expect 8-12
|
| meteor shower showers. In 2005 we had the
| |
| | per hour for up to 28 hours. The Perseids
|
| Perseids Meteor Shower, which was quite
| |
| | in August on the 12-13 ought to be very
|
| good and turned out to be a major shower,
| |
| | good this year, but the moon will be
|
| very impressive. In October of 2005 we
| |
| | somewhat in the way casting some light
|
| had Draconids, which was observed over
| |
| | pollution during the peak and you can
|
| Asia and Eastern Europe, although it was
| |
| | expect about 25 per hour or more. In
|
| not a major event. There of course were
| |
| | October from the 20-22 will come the
|
| other notable showers, but not so
| |
| | Orionids, this time the moon will be
|
| spectacular. But in 2006 we will witness
| |
| | cooperating and allow for good visibility
|
| some wonderful meteor showers.On January
| |
| | against a blackened sky for a good 25 per
|
| third and forth we will see the
| |
| | hour between none some hours.The Leonids
|
| Quadrantids, the peak will be extremely
| |
| | will arrive on Novermber 19, as Earth
|
| brilliant and comparable to the Perseids
| |
| | travels thru left remnants of the Leonids
|
| and Geminids. The rates of meteors per
| |
| | Comet, the predictions are sketchy, yet
|
| hour are not easily predicted with
| |
| | some say we may get to see as many as 100
|
| Quadrantids, yet many scientists and
| |
| | per hour, that will truly be worth
|
| studiers of such believe this year will
| |
| | watching indeed. And rounding out the
|
| be something special perhaps as high as
| |
| | year in 2006 will be the Geminids, which
|
| 85 to 100 per hour during the peak.Then
| |
| | will be at its best on December 13-14,
|
| on April 22-23 we will get the Lyrids
| |
| | again with one hundred per hour maximums.

| |
| | The Geminids are known for their often
|
| spectacular but 20-25 per hour for the
| |
| | various colors of Yellow, Green and Blue.
|
| maximum and peak is not untypical. Then
| |
| | This meteor shower will extend thru Pearl
|
| around the corner on May 6 we will have
| |
| | Harbor Day to the seventh of December and
|
| the Eta Aquarids, with up to 55 per hour,
