(meteorobs) Is any interesting activity expected in the heavens this week?
I am hoping that there is some meteor activiy worth looking at while the moon
is new. Apart from sitting for hours hoping for some nice sporadic activity
does anyone have any suggestions? What is the story with this new NASA
SUNBURST(?) satellite? Is it easily observed without assistance, if so where
and when? Thanks in advance for any input.

BTW I noticed that there are some interesting impact related titles
available for bargain bin prices at the Barnes and Noble super store. I
picked up:
1. Fire on Earth (John & Mary Gribbin, 1996, St. Martins Press, NY) < $10
(hard cover)
2. COMETS Speculation and Discovery (Nigel Calder, 1994ed, Dover
publications, NY) < $10 (hard cover).
3. Rain of Iron and Ice (John S. Lewis, 1996, Helix Books) ~$5 (soft cover),
<$10 (hardcover)
Popular press to some of you... perhaps entertaining enough for many others.
I have found interesting and enlightening text in each of them.
