(CNN) -- The annual Leonid meteor shower is set to rain space dust over Earth for the next few days, putting on a show for night skygazers. Astronomers disagree as to when the shower will peak -- some say Wednesday, others Friday.<br /><br />

Cool! I'll keep a lookout for it. We're just above the fogline here(2,500 ft. elev.), so weather should be great for it. Thanks for the reminder.
