If you're a geek like me, be jealous

...because the Leonids Meteor Shower this year is going to be out-of-this-world! (See what I did there?) Anyway, on the night of November 17th to November 18th, Earth is supposed to pass through a bunch of meteor remnants causing a half-storm with expected 500 meteor particles per hour! BALLER. The peak of this meteor is at 9pm Greenwich Time, meaning around 2am India Standard Time! (And around 2:30pm Central Time, when you'll have absolutely no visibility of this awesomeness. Womp womp.) So, I will definitely be staying up and checkin' out the night sky next Tuesday night. Am excited!! :-D
