The Shuimu Tsinghua BBS runs in telnet, and will be
rather slow if you use WWW. And i suggest you
getting a special software to log in.

Not exactly. It is still unknown whether the filament component
of Leonids can last till 2003, as it may have be too long a time
since the comet's return in 1998.
BTW, does anyone know any new prediction for this potential
event? I just asked Esko for his previous paper, but forgot to
ask about this. :-P
However, the annual shower will in any way make up a minor
and wide peak. But I don't know the precise time (but sure not
on November 13). The exact time can be calculated with the
orbit of the parent body, 55P/Tempel-Tuttle.

The fireball show in 1998 is really spectacular, indeed.
But I wagered with Zhilin Zhang only on account of
our different guesswork of the interference of the 1:3
resonance with Jupiter. This maybe more scientific but
hopeful. Of course, a fireball show in upcoming November
is also a good news for me. Zhilin Zhang is the president of the
Association of Astronomy in Nankai University.
I'm to be officially in Peking University later this year, but in fact,
i've been studying there for almost one year.
Best wishes,
Huan
