Wish upon a shooting star tonight!

 
Better start brainstorming a good wish, babes, ‘cause tonight’s your chance to send ‘em out into the universe. From sunset tonight through dawn tomorrow (that’s dusk on Nov. 16 through sunrise Nov. 17), the Leonid meteor shower will be visible across North America.

 

Peak viewing according to the experts will be around 3 a.m. in the eastern U.S. and Canada. Why this time? Because that’s when the Earth is due to come closest to the orbit of Tempel-Tuttle comet. What you’ll see is the debris from the tail of the comet, which we encounter once every 33 years.

 

Scientists expect about a dozen shooting stars will be visible per hour tonight. To have a good shot at seeming them, you want to be as far away as possible from light pollution, so visit a friend who lives in the country, if you can. Bring along a lawn chair or a sleeping bag, park it on the ground and gaze up at the sky. Be sure to bundle up! It’s chilly out there!

 

Tell us, babes: Are you gonna be wishing on shooting stars tonight?

I'm really insecure! My parents and friends say that I'm pretty, but I certainly don't see it, and none of the guys at school seem to either! I'm too tall, and skinny but not in the right ways! I'm totally flat cheste and have no bum! I have super pale skin, and you can see my veins really bad! I don't know what to do! I'm a sophmore but I really don't want to wear makeup, because I don't want to cover up what God gave me I guess! Lol! How can I raise my self esteem a little?! I'm so confused! How can all the adults think I'm pretty and nobody my age?!

Hey girl,

Don't be so hard on yourself, I am sure you are beautiful! Having a small chest and bottom means you are healthy! If you don't want to wear makeup because you're happy with your natural beauty, that is perfectly fine! If your friends think you're pretty, they're your age, so cut yourself some slack! Try making a list of everything you like about yourself and reading it when you're feeling down. You have so many great qualities, so don't forget that!

Thanks GL!! I'll try to see this tonight Laughing Also, a few months ago, I didn't get my GL issue even though we paid for it.. I get my magazine through this Special Olympics thing though, so would that be why I didn't get it maybe?

 

hey girl! I'm really not sure. You could call our subscriptions office for further help. The number is 410-426-9600, and the extension is 133.
