Answer 1

You can, if you feel like driving, get a decent view from anywhere north of the San Fernando Valley. I would recommend Placerita Canyon Road, just off the northbound 14 Freeway a couple of miles from it's split-off from the I-5.

Or, you could head to Point Fermin on the Palos Verdes Peninsula. The view out over the ocean should be fairly dark.

Answer 2

I was just wondering this myself. I researched it and found this handy site! It helps you pinpoint best viewing time, frequency, and other good stuff.

It is said it should be the biggest one until 2099 or so. if you are awake between 1am and 3am, i would highly recommend you take a look to the sky. the best times for viewing should be between 1:40am and 2:40am. The further from the city & smog you can get.. the better. Head out of the LA basin to the desert. You should get an AMAZING view from there.

Answer 3

You will not get a good view until 2032. the main body comes around every 33 years, and was last in the path of the earth in 1999.
I remember in 1966 the whole sky washed with what looked like lightening, but with no thunder, as hundreds of shooting stars blazed across the sky, and I waited for 33 years, and guess what, it was raining for months!

Answer 4

the warmth temperature will beat the Celtics by potential of using a minimum of 6. Wade is going ham 25 aspects, 5 rebounds, 6 assists. The Lakers will beat the Mavericks yet no longer by potential of using extra suitable advantageous than 8 aspects. Lebron getting his ring is effectual for him. He reward it after the paintings he put in for the era of the playoffs very final 12 months.
