NASA Science News for November 10, 1999:

Heads Up! - The upcoming Leonids meteor shower (Nov. 17-18) is predicted to be the biggest in decades and perhaps for the next century. While we are safe on the ground, satellite operators are concerned that even small impacts could short-circuit satellites. NASA will coordinate a team that helps track changes in the shower that could be a storm. Full story:

The best place for view is the Eastern part of the U.S. We'll be out. We think it will be quite a show. Sky and Telescope had a lot on it in their latest issue.
