Don’t Miss The Biggest Meteor Shower of the Modern Age Monday, November 16, 2009 at 11:00pm through Tuesday, November 17, 2009 at 4:00am. This years Leonid Meteor Shower promises to be one of the most exciting in recent history. On Nov. 17, 2009, Earth will pass through the 1466 stream again, but this time closer to the center. Based on the number of meteors observed in 2008, Vaubaillon can estimate the strength of the coming display: five hundred or more Leonids per hour. The weather forecast in Northern Va promises to be clear and mild so seize the opportunity of a lifetime and step outside, look up and witness this celestial treat.

    I live in DC and am looking to get out to watch the shower. Is there a park or a place to go and watch?
