So I just found out about this.. If any east coasters are able to get pics of the meteor shower tonight post some please
(I heard it was supposed to be able to be seen from the east coast) I'm not sure about all of the details but its supposed to be very visible beginning beginning somewhere between 3-4amish tonight, and its supposed to be the biggest/longest/somethingest (I'm so verbose tonight, sorry, I'm tired) of this generation. I'm so tired but I'm going to try and stay up, but I dont even know if my camera can take a pic of that. But If anyone is able to get pics, Please post them

I didn't hear about it until this morning otherwise I would definitely have stayed up for it. I saw one years back and it was pretty awesome. Supposedly it was supposed to be really good viewing in the Texas sky too. :(

I'm so tired but I'm going to try and stay up, but I dont even know if my camera can take a pic of that. But If anyone is able to get pics, Please post them The best time to view the most meteors from this shower was around the time you posted this message. The best viewing time for the North East was from about 1AM to 6AM the morning of November 16th. During the peak of this shower you would be able to see about 20-30 meteors streaking across the sky after they entered our atmosphere. That 20-30 number is for areas of the country where there aren't many city lights. You could still see some tonight and possibly tomorrow as well but the numbers will be lower. The Leonids usually run from Nov. 13th - Nov. 21st. If you were in parts Asia you could see 200-300 an hour. These meteors are part of the Leonids and there is an Leonid meteor shower every year when the earth passes through the path of them. The earth passes through the path of the remains of comets and such all of the time. There is usually a meteor shower once a month which can be seen at different quantities depending on where you are on the planet. It is actually more common than many people think. As far as taking pictures go you really can't just take out a camera and snap away hoping to catch one on film. That would be like trying to catch a bolt of lighting on one snap of the shutter. What you would have to do is to get a 35mm film camera and leave the shutter open for hours so that everything is captured on one frame of film. If you were to do this you would see that the stars would appear as arching lines arcoss the sky, sort of like the grooves in a record, and the meteors would show up as lines cutting across those circular arched lines. Here is what it would look like... I hope this helps a bit. If you have any other questions please feel free to ask.
