On Saturday morning, September 1, the earth may pass through a stream of particles cast off by a comet called Keiss when it passed the sun in about 83 B.C. The passage, set to occur at 4:37 a.m. P.D.T., may produce a brief but strong shower of bright meteors from the constellation Auriga, the Charioteer. Although no one can promise that the Aurigid meteor shower will occur, you will want to watch the sky from about 3:30 a.m. until dawn (at about 5:15 a.m.) since the result could be spectacular, and no similar chance to see a similar shower can be predicted for at least the next 70 years. The moon will be bright and high in the sky, but the brightness of the meteors may keep the numbers visible from being affected. Use a chaise lounge or other reclining chair to lie back and comfortably look nearly overhead and toward the northeast.

 

hmm, i found some site that said this would only be visible from western north america. oh well.

 

Nuts. Meteor storms are so cool to watch too.

 

Will the Internets be affected?

 

I don't think so, Jack.
