 It is 06:30 Am local time in Jordan, and JAS has just ended the
observation. After a very quick discussion with the scientists who were
observing from Jordan with JAS. We concluded that Jordan was one of the
best locations to observe the Leonids '99 from ! Since a decrease of the
activity was noticed before the beginning of dawn ! Nearly all the
participants estimated the ZHR to be some how between 7000 - 10 000 !!
More details and the opinion of the scientists will be added soon at our
site http://www.jas.org.jo/leo99.html
