November 17: The Leonids Typically the Leonid shower is a weak display, with fewer than a dozen meteors per hour radiating from Leo’s Sickle. But the parent comet, 55P/Tempel-Tuttle, tends to create narrow concentrated streams that can produce brief but prodigious displays. That was the case during the late 1990s, and we might be in for a reprise this year. A predicted pulse of activity on November 17th — with hundreds of meteors per hour — will involve contributions from the comet's spewings in 1102, 1466, and 1533. - metrohumanx, 2009-11-12: 06:31:00

Etymology: stench: strong, foul odor + tension: mental, emotional or nervous strain -- baseball players are notorious for being highly superstitious and will regard certain articles of clothing as being "lucky."
