Meteor Showers

“As you start putting your 2007 calendar together, I though you might want to add these dates:

Name Date of Peak Moon Phase
Quadrantids January 4 Full Moon
Lyrids April 22 Evening crescent
Eta Aquarids May 6 Morning gibbous
Delta Aquarids July 28 Full Moon
Perseids August 13 New Moon
Orionids October 21 Evening gibbous
Leonids November 18 Evening gibbous
Geminids December 14 Evening crescent”

“Thank you.........I have made it a point to go to the High Country here in Virginia when the skies are clear and have taken a special fondness with the Meteor showers and those seeking a special moment in time, personal and powerful to embrace , I strongly recommend checking out a Meteor shower. It will humble you.

“Saw a few Leonids this year, but the Geminids were a total bust, weather-wise...

IMO

The Perseids are looking good...”
