ARTICLE HIGHLIGHT: Another meteor shower, the Leonids (RADIATING OUT OF LEO THE LION OF JUDAH), is also set to peak this month. On the night of Nov. 17 and into the morning of Nov. 18, observers on the ground can potentially see about 40 meteors per hour if weather and light pollution permits, Calo said. (NOTE FROM HELENA: Per the preceding and following article comments, the LEONIDS ARE THE RESULT OF THE DEBRIS FROM THE TAIL OF COMET TEMPEL-TUTTLE, WITH A 33-YEAR ORBITAL PATH - AND 33 IS TIED TO YAHSHUAS FIRST ADVENT!) This shower is the result of Earth’s annual passage through the dust trails left by Comet Tempel-Tuttle, which returns to the inner solar system every 33 years, Calo said. Scientists and amateur observers are tracking Comet ISON as it makes its way through the solar system during November. The comet will make its closest brush with the sun on Nov. 28, but before that, it could appear as a bright streak on the horizon before dawn if it lives up to some predicted expectations.
