The annual Leonid meteor shower reaches its peak this week and may get a boost from a moonless weekend sky.
The actual peak of the 2012 Leonid meteor shower is on Saturday (Nov. 17) at 3 a.m. EST, but, like all meteor showers, the celestial fireworks display will be visible for a few nights before and after that peak time, weather permitting.

After a hiatus, I have decided to bring this site back as a Tumblr site. This old blogger hosted site will be using the webofgoodnews.blogspot.com domain, but will not be updated anymore (the RSS feeds in the sidebar update automatically though). I have moved the old postings from here over to Tumblr and have already started posting new stuff. To follow the new Web of Good news, visit Webofgoodnews.com (or webofgoodnews.tumblr.com).
