Just a heads up if you didn't know, there is going to be a massive meteor shower tonight (23rd May). It's a very rare event (actually I think its an entirely new meteor shower) and should be spectacular with 100-400 meteors per hour (according to my star-walk app).

I think best viewing times are around 2am in USA, early morning in UK (darn it).

Aw yeah. Been following this news since Wednesday, and I can't wait until tonight!

I'll try and keep a tally of how many meteors I see. Funny... I haven't even seen meteors before!
