Leonid Flux Estimator
ARE YOU WONDERING...
  • What is the best location for viewing the 2002 Leonid meteor shower?
  • What night do I need to go out to see the the shower from my hometown?
  • How active is the shower expected to be?
Now, you can calculate the answers yourself with the handy Leonid Flux Estimator. It is a Java applet that allows you to calculate the expected Leonid shower rate for a given date and a given location. It also allows you to see the difference between staying downtown or moving out into the country side to a dark and clear location. All rates were calculated by taking into account the Moon light.
