“Shooting stars are very rare and most people accidentally see one once every few years. If they go out for five to 10 minutes on that particular night they could see more than an astronomer sees in a lifetime. It is a very big event cosmically.” ... Mr Moore said North America will see the shooting star shower at its height as it will be night there when the Earth hits the comet dust.
“It currently favours north America but we are the last country to North America. We could catch the whole event,” he said.
Global warming?
S. Stars are rare?????? I see at least one every single time I stargaze... 150 or so times a year.
