What a shower

Once again the annual Leonid meteor shower will soon be here.

Experts predict that up to 100 Leonid shooting stars could be seen streaking through the sky every hour.

However, light from the moon will make the meteors hard to spot until about Wednesday.

It wasn't all that long ago that meteor showers such as the Leonids were viewed as divine messages. These days only people who have a failing grip on reality believe that sort of thing.

Look Tarquin, a sign from the heavens. Tomorrow we shall face the demon Bush and crush him.
