Hey, Loungers! Leonid meteor shower this weekend...

Peak is tomorrow night around 5 a.m. however viewing will still be noteworthy tonight between midnight and dawn with meteors in the 10-15 per hour range.

Unfortunately, the full moon ( known as the "Beaver" moon ) reaches it's fullest tommorrow as well, which will wash all but the brightest meteors from view.

At any rate, it's worth checking out if you have clear skies and a desire to stay up late ( or set an alarm... )

Happy viewing!
