  • Last Great Meteor Show for Decades Tonight - Tuesday morning may be the last chance until 2099 to see a truly spectacular meteor shower, scientists say. You'll have to be up and outside by 4:30 a.m. CST (around 5:30 a.m. EST or 10:30 UT) to see it though.  In ordinary years, sky gazers watching a meteor shower might see about ten meteors per hour. This year, however, scientists expect a full-fledged meteor storm. Astronomers at the European Space Agency (ESA) are predicting that Europeans might see 3,000 per hour. Night owls in North America can expect to see a few hundred an hour, estimate. Visit NASA's web site for estimates of best viewing time by location, http://leonid.arc.nasa.gov/estimator.html

  • Files reveal how FBI hounded chess king - He was the ultimate cold warrior, humbling the mighty Soviet chess establishment through his own genius and a pounding ambition to be the greatest player in the world. Now 59, Bobby Fischer has become a reclusive, anti-Semitic expatriate. Efforts to interview him for this article were unsuccessful. He has been seen in Japan, Hungary and the Philippines.
