Possible (but unlikely) Leonid Show; Made a Repo for TuxMeteor
![[Tux the Linux penguin has his back to us as he observes a sky with stars and several shooting meteors]](https://shallowsky.com/software/tuxmeteor.jpg)
Salon.com had an article predicting a rare Leonid show on Friday and
Saturday night this week:
Rare "outburst" meteor shower will be visible this weekend.
I'm not sure where they got that idea; more science-leaning resources, like
Universe Today
and
Science Alert,
say 2024 is an "off" year for the Leonids,
with an expected Zenithal Hourly Rate (ZHR) of 15-20 meteors per hour
even with ideal conditions, which we don'e have because of an
almost-full moon.
