~ LeOniD yG ku nAnti ~


semalam pertama kali dlm hidup sye mngenal nama baru - Leonid.
Leonid meteor shower- teruje sye m'denga namenye..
wlupun suhu m'cecah 5 darjah celcius,n amatlah tidak logik utk seseorg b'dri di luar dlm gelap malam,
di subuh2 sepi'i tatkala insan2 dok sedap tido.
sye dgn tekad dan teruje nye merasmikan baju baru sye utk musim sejuk semate-mate mahu mnyaksikan dgn mate kepale sye sndri keajaiban alam tersebut..

pukul 3 pagi sye mule m'cari siapekah antr sahabat2 sye yg msih blum tdo, nk dibuat geng ajak berjaga utk mnanti sang leonid. mase dijangka peak hour utk tahi bintang itu meledak-ledak ialah around kol 4 ke 5 subuh...
sye yg mmg x boleyh tdo ni mnunngu je la dgn penuh kesabaran.

jam stat kol 4 sye da mule bkk tingkap..masya Allah, beku yg amat2 rsenye..
dgn angin b'tiup x tentu hale nye, sye rse kebas seluruh badan. heater yg dipasang dlm blik seolah-olah dah x berkesan dek penangan angin dingin yg masuk dr tingkap..
seram pun ad jugak sbb area rumah sye ni cm terpencil sket...gelap jek..org jepun ni mmg kedekut lampu. berape kerat sgt lah lampu jln yg dipasangnye...
tp ad hikmahnye jugk..hoho..tips nk tgok meteor nih, elakkn drpd kwsn cerah atau penuh dgn cahaya2 buatan manusia a.k.a lampu.. jd mmg sesuai beno la sye mnunngu dlm gelap mcm tu...

15 minit mnunngu, sye da  x thn lg..jari ni da nek beku,  nk pgg fon pon xdek reseptor da rsenye...sye tutup tingkap sliding tu kejap n lari duduk dpan heater...bkn nk ckp ptus ase, just take 5 nk panaskn badan sekejap. tapi act sye ragu2 jugak, dpt ke sye nk tgok leonid ni just dr dlm rumah jek...kalau dilawan kata hati yg penakut ni mmg sye da lari p tunggu tengah2 sawah nun..tp malangnye, sye ni penakut bebeno..takut org jahat satu hal, takut anjing2 org jepun ni lg satu hal..(area rumah sye bnyk anjing beso2..xtaw ap motif bela anjing gedabak2 cmtue..)

semangat sye nk tgok makin melonjak-lonjak bile senior sye b'jye nmpk slh satu drpd 'titisan' hujan meteor tu.. hanye Tuhan yg tahu betape teruje nye sye...sye bkk tingkap makin luas..(kalau td bkk utk muat2 bdn sye kt celah tingkap tu jek..)..mate sye mmg x berkedip lgsg, punye le desperate nk tgok..

dgn izin Allah, berdesup satu cahaya laju dpan mate sye ..tp sekilas jek yg sempat sye tangkap, sye mnunduk kejap sbb nk tgok nset sye n bile sye dongak balik, sye perasan lintasan tuh...adeyh..kalau la sye x tunduk..tp xpe, da rzki nmpk satu tuh...

selang beberape minit, kali ni nasib sye lebih baik...kali ni lintasan yg agak besar n panjang yg dpt sye lihat...subhanallah, mengagumkn...x pernah sye tgok kejadian mcm nie...cantik, n puas hati, memandang dgn mate sendiri, wlupun imejnye x sebesar n sejelas yg boleh kite tatap dlm gmbr, tp kepuasan yg dialami berbeza. serius.

saat jam menginjak ke pukul 5, sye m'beranikan dri utk keluar rumah. sye b;dri kt tengah2 kwsan perumahan sye tu..mse tu da x rse sejuk ape da, sbb teruje n kagum punye psl...mmg scenery dr luar mmg lebin memuaskn hati drpd dok tgok dr dlm blik jek td..kalaulah sye keluar awl..(kalau lg....isyh2..)
selepas subuh, sye merehatkn mate sye sekejap sbb memikirkn sye ad kelas penting arini n sye x tdo lgsg, tkot pening kepale plak dlm kelas..
alhamdulillah...tdo sye lena wlupun hanye 2 jam..

ksimpulannye, wlupun tdo x sebanyak ari biase tp arini mud sye sgt sgt sgt sgt baek..
genki jek kt kelas td..hoho...
ye, sye gembire.
sbb sye b'peluang menyaksikn sndri kejaiban Tuhan lagi..
sye teruje.
n sye sgt b'syukur sbb diberi kesempatan itu.

kt sini sye selitkn skit psl leonid yg sye 'excited'kn sgt nih..

The Leonids  are a prolific meteor shower associated with the comet Tempel-Tuttle. The Leonids get their name from the location of their radiant in the constellation Leo: the meteors appear to stream from that point in the sky. The 2009 display peaking on November 17 may produce more than 500 meteors an hour.


The main source of light of a meteor is caused by the solar wind, which fragments and atomizes the dust,and the resulting spray of microscopic debris collides with individual atoms of the atmosphere ionizing the air. The air molecules recombine and cool by giving off photons. Larger particles leave a stream of smaller particles and form a tail, which can leave a glowing trail in the atmosphere. 
Leonids in particular are well known for having such bright meteors. 


The Leonids are famous because their meteor showers, or storms, can be, and have been in a few cases, among the most spectacular. Because of the superlative storm of 1833 and the recent developments in scientific thought the Leonids have had a major effect on the development of the scientific study of meteors which had previously been thought to be atmospheric phenomena. The meteor storm of 1833 was of truly superlative strength. One estimate is over one hundred thousand meteors an hour, but another, done as the storm abated, estimated in excess of two hundred thousand meteors an hour over the entire region of North America east of the Rocky Mountains.
