David Archuleta -vs- the Real Shooting Stars Tonight!

leonids-pd

In my quest for “smelling the roses, tip toeing through the tulips, dancing in daisies” (see previous post on AFS ODD Rehab ;) ) – tonight I am going to venture away — yes, I said venture AWAY — from David Archuleta’ing into the wee hours of the morning, and instead, gaze up upon the night sky and watch the Leonid meteorite shower.

Going to kick back with some thermal underwear on, sipping a mug of yummy hot chocolate, while lying on a blanket of snow- and marvel at the wonders of our universe………… it can happen.

OK, ok — well, I live in Southern California – so we can nix the thermal underwear, and the blanket of snow will soon be my hot tub – but going to stick to the mug of hot chocolate plan. :)

SO TELL ME WHAT YOU ARE GOING TO DO TONIGHT ???

LEAVE IT IN THE COMMENT SECTION BELOW!!!!!

From the LA times:

One night only: Leonid meteor shower
Thanks to a new moon, chances of being able to see this annual celestial show tonight are good.
By John Johnson Jr.

The annual Leonid meteor shower will make its one-night appearance over North America tonight. Viewing conditions should be excellent because the peak will occur after midnight, when the lights of metropolitan areas will be at their dimmest.

Further, the presence of a new moon will make it much easier to see the white streaks across the sky.

The meteor shower is called the Leonids because the meteors appear to originate in the constellation Leo. In reality, they appear only in the last few seconds of their existence when they enter the upper atmosphere of the Earth.

Most of the meteors are small bits of sand and fluff shed by the 55P/Tempel-Tuttle comet, which makes a close pass of the sun every 33 years before returning to the outer solar system. The last close pass of the comet, which is about 2 miles in diameter, was in 1998.

Each time it traverses the inner solar system, the heat of the sun causes the comet to lay down a trail of debris. When the Earth’s orbit carries it through this trail, that becomes the Leonid shower.

For more information on meteor showers, check out StarDate Online or NASA’s website.

  4. As long as NASA stands for “Never A Straight Answer” I will probably be ruminating for days.

    Other than that, do you have extra marshmallows and a pair of binoculars?

  6. Yes, unless, of course, you have figured out how to escape the time/space continuum wearing nothing but thermals. :D

  8. A little pre-planning, a few microwaves, and we all have warm cocoa.

    Hey! What does a one-celled organism call a set of binoculars?

  16. Well, AFD, I hate to interrupt the profound discussion going on here, but I hope that you have a good time watching the meteor shower and drinking some tasty hot chocolate! I watched some stars earlier tonight myself — of course those were the celebrities on Dancing with the Stars… :)

  17. Ha ha ha B! – I forgot about DWTS tonight! – usually go to the gym at this time of night and watch it on the TV’s there while on the bike – but got distracted with the deep thoughts between AFS and AFD ;)

  18. Doc, I hope you had a good time watching the stars. I never even thought of doing that when I was living in CA – then again I was a lot younger with nothing in my brain other than eating and dancing.

    I try doing that here in Orlando, but not the same. Oh well!!

    B I missed Dancing with the Stars as well. Who got voted off?
