COSMIC SHOWERS

This issue highlights the Leonid Meteor Shower - how big will it be? Other topics include: the threats posed by space debris; neutrinos; gamma rays of doom; the latest on the asteroid impact countdown; the doomsday star (possibility of a red dwarf companion, gravitationally attracted to our Sun, periodically sending a rash of comets into our solar system); a report on the Stardust and plans for the Deep Space-4 missions to comets; and other threatening celestial "showers."
