Supposedly calculations have been done and the earth will pass thru the
densist part of a Leonid stream when the USA is in daylight. Supposedly
the best place to see this storm peak is Australia.
There is at least one tour I am aware of being planed to Australia from
the USA to view this storm. This group is apparantly going to view from
somewhere in Central Australia near Ayer's (sp?) rock.
Any of our Aussie, New Zealand and Pacific Rim members may want
to keep this in mind.
