ARLA/CLUSTER: Este fim-de-semana vamos ter a "chuva de estrelas cadentes" Leonidas

This weekend: The Leonid meteor shower

Earth is entering a stream of debris from Comet 55P/Tempel-Tuttle,
source of the annual Leonid meteor shower.

NASA cameras have already detected a number of Leonid fireballs over
the USA with peak rates expected on Nov. 17th and 18th. The weekend
display is best seen at dawn alongside a new comet and a conjunction
between Venus and the brightest star of Virgo.
