| Tehran sky rains meteors |
| 2004-10-23 |
| Tehrani people will watch a meteor rain Thursday night, a member of an Iranian astonomy group, Iran Amateur Association, forecast Thursday. Unless the Iranian nuclear issue is resolved within diplomatic circles (not going to happen) something else will be raining down from Iran's night time sky. Around 22 o'clock (local time), the raining will begin from the Orion in the eastern horizon at a volume of up to 23 meteors per hour, Ghaffari said. Ghaffari ensured sky enthusiasts that the watch risks no damage to naked eyes. The raining comes to a peak at mid-day with the meteors falling at a speed of 66 kmph at impact, he noted. |
