LEONID METEORS 2014
     S. Nakano, Sumoto, Japan; and D. Asher, Armagh Observatory, write that
it will be scientifically interesting to see if two enhanced streams of Leonid
meteors can be detected -- both predicted to be at low levels if observable --
around Nov. 17.06-17.07 UT (due to material ejected from comet 55P in 1833 and
seen in 1867, predicted by Nakano and Y. Kosai) and Nov. 21.3-21.4 (material
from 1567, predicted by M. Maslov and J. Vaubaillon).  The main stream of
Leonid meteors is expected to peak around Nov. 17.9 (with full-width at half-
maximum of a couple of days, via Maslov).
