Comments and anecdotes about the event:
Star party and talk for the Tesoro Foundation commemoration of the "The Night the Stars Fell", the 1833 Leonid Meteor Shower, at The Fort Restaurant. Presented talk on Leonid Meteor shower and recent explorations of comets and asteroids by NASA missions. Made extensive use of on-line resources from NASA-JPL EPOXI and Deep Impact as well as other resources for recent images. Photo of Jack Eastman's 1877 Alvan Clark refractor set-up by campfire for viewing moon and Jupiter. The Fort is a replica of Bent's Old Fort, a historic trading post on the Santa Fe trail where many witnessed the Leonid meteor storm of 1833.
