Or if you don't know where that is, look at the southeastern sky between about 3:00 AM and 5:15 AM on Thursday morning, Nov 18 (and Friday morning, same time), to see the annual Leonid Meteor Shower. Clear skies and away from city lights will let you see as many as 20 shooting stars per hour. The shooting stars are leftover debris from comet Tempel-Tuttle. As the comet orbits the Sun, it leaves a trail of debris. The Leonids meteors recur each year when Earth passes through the comet’s debris trail. It's a very kewl thing.
