FROM SPACEWEATHER.COM:  LEONID METEOR SHOWER: Today, Earth is passing through a stream of debris from Comet 55P/Tempel-Tuttle, source of the annual Leonid meteor shower. People who remember the Leonid meteor storms of the late 90s/early 2000s should know that this is not a storm year. Forecasters expect no more than 15 Leonids per hour during the dark hours before local sunrise.  [Live meteor radar] Forward Scatter Meteor Radar Click on the button to listen to a live audio feed: METEOR ECHOES: The US Air Force Space Surveillance Radar has been shut down, but we're still recording meteor echos. How do we do it?  Radio engineer Stan Nelson uses a Yagi antenna in New Mexico to detect 54 MHz TV signals reflected from meteor trails. When a meteor passes over his observatory -- ping! -- there is an echo. It's the next best thing to a giant government radar!
