(meteorobs) 1989 Leonid Outburst




   On the morning of November 16/17, 1989 I saw a brief Leonid outburst
of about ten meteors in about 40 minutes centered around 10:30 UT. There
was a Full Moon nearby and this activity was totally unexpected. This event
was also seen by Roger Venable in Georgia, and reported in WGN by Richard
Taibi of Maryland. Anyway, my question is what was the heliocentric longitude
at that time, and how does it compare to the current prediction of the node
crossing of the Leonids this year?
