Lunar Eclipse and Meteor Shower

[Brown]

From CNN (http://www.cnn.com/2003/TECH/space/11/06/lunar.eclipse.ap/index.html):Saturday's lunar eclipse will be followed by the Leonid meteor shower, a total solar eclipse over the southern hemisphere -- and a chance for more auroras if the sun stays active.In the above report, "followed by" does not mean "immediately followed by." The lunar eclipse reaches totality at 8:06 p.m. Saturday night, EST. The Leonid meteor shower peaks about November 19. The total solar eclipse will occur on November 28, and will be visible only in Antarctica.

Apparently it will be viewable everywhere but in Australia, which serves them right, I say.

What a great opportunity to refer everyone to the letter I wrote to Randi that he put in last week's column, re: the "real prognosticators."

Once again, scientists make accurate predictions about absolutely remarkable events that will occur in the future.

What a sight it was!
