Denver Museum of Nature & Science The Leonid meteor shower is tonight! Forecasters are predicting 20 to 30 meteors per hour. This year's shower is featuring something really cool -- Mars happens to be passing
by the Leonid radiant at the time of the shower. That means it will look like the meteors are shooting out of the Red Planet!

NASA -The 2009 Leonid Meteor Shower

November 10, 2009: This year's Leonid meteor shower peaks on Tuesday, Nov. 17th. If forecasters are correct, the shower should produce a mild but pretty sprinkling of meteors over North America followed by a more intense outburst over Asia. ...

This is great, about time the "official" Denver weather didn't have to be only out at the airport. There are, of course, MANY "unofficial" weather stations, including various at Denver Public Schools locations, provided by WeatherBug. Try http://www.weatherbug.com/ and enter your zip code.

Good point. I confess, I've always been too much of a perfectionist! And while I'm fairly certain that Genghis Khan had nothing in common with John Wayne, who's to say what may be true and what isn't over eight centuries later? I'm also fairly certain that Philip of Macedon and King Leonidas of Sparta were quite unlike Val Kilmer and Gerard Butler... See More, respectively, but that did little to stop Hollywood from doing their thing. And come to think of it, I've also heard rumors of Vin Diesel as the title character in a docudrama covering the life and campaigns of Hannibal Barca (shudders!).
