Shooting Stars

The most impressive meteor showers I ever see is the 2001 Leonids. It was one of the most memorable experiences of my life!

According to wikipedia and this site, both Perseids and Lenoids will be very impressive. Unfortunately, both occur during 'school' nights and meteor showers are best seen in the middle of nowhere (so will have to go far from home). Still very tempted....
