Thanks to Judy, I went back and looked up exactly when the Leonid Meteor Showers will be "hitting" (and subsequently edited the content of this post so as to not mislead anyone).
Thanks for stopping me from waking up early tomorrow, Judy- you can't imagine how, um, peeved I would have been to have gotten up early for no good reason!
That said, Saturday night around 1-3am is supposed to be the "Really Big Show" in the sky as the Leonid Meteors shower across the sky at a rate of up to 100 per hour (and with that many "falling stars," I have some wishes to make!).
I had heard a report that said the peak would be Friday around 4am, but Judy correctly identified Saturday am as the peak! Of course, now that I've looked around a bit, I see that there are different predictions for the peak, so I suppose if you have insomnia anytime in the next couple days, you might want to wander outside and look up...
