The below link shows some upcoming ones.\n\nBeing in the southern hemisphere, I would think you should be able to see all except the Lyrid shower.

I would try checking the meteorobs mailing list. And perhaps posting about your sighting to the list.\n\nhttp://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/meteorobs/\n\nThere's also a fireball log here:\n\nhttp://www.amsmeteors.org/fireball/fireball_log2006.html\n\nUpdate: Turns out you weren't alone. There's a bunch of sightings posted in the fireball log I posted above as well as an update that was posted to spaceweather.com\n\n"On Nov. 28th, in a split-second of total coincidence, a meteoroid the same size as the Lunar Leonid plunged to Earth over the Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, AL. What happened? Nothing. It disintegrated harmlessly in the atmosphere. A local security camera captured this movie of the beautiful fireball."\n\nAnd here's the movie they are referring to:\n\nhttp://science.nasa.gov/spaceweather/swpod2006/03dec06/huntsville.asf

You don't have to worry. The meteor that is sure to hit us will be in 2880.

probably not, the moon has no atmosphere. meteor showers can be seen from space however, but i think from the moon would be a little too far away

of course there is. ramdom events of shifting meteors, meteoroids, asteroids , and comets make it nearly impossible to tell when one will come our way. but rest assured that the probability is extremely small. if you were to say within the next thousand years then it could happen. the next million it will most likely happen. the only satellites in our solar system that we have to worry about reside in the oort cloud, some as big as texas, and these could conceivably be knocked out of orbit into a collision course, but again i wouldn't worry. the thing that would most likely happen would be a rougue comet or meteor from somewhere outside of local space to come careening in our direction stirring up all sorts of havoc along the way. does that answer your question?

Anywhere the sky is clear and there are not too many lights. And look after midnight, because the meteors will be hitting the other side of the Earth before midnight. Just before the start of morning twilight is the best time.

The date on which a certain phase of the moon will occur depends on your geographical location on earth!\nTo avoid miscommunication, astronomers use Universal Time (UT) for dates and times concerning astronomical phenomena.\nThe next new moon will occur on May 27th 5.26 hr Universal Time

A telescope won't really help much to view a meteor shower.  It's best to just find a spot as far away as possible from city lights, sit back, and watch the sky.  Because meteors aren't entirely predictable, the chances of one being caught in your telescope are very remote.  The meteor shower you're referring to is going to peak around 2 in the morning on April 22nd, a Saturday.  The meteors can come from any part of the sky, so just take a blanket, something warm to drink, a few friends, maybe, relax.  It'll be a good time, I assure you.

the earth will probably not exist in the same fashion as it does today.  a meteor will probably hit us and start the life cycle again in the next 200 mill or so.  Probably more water and less land so i figure more water based life will exist

Yes, and we usually have a couple each year.  The Leonids, the Orionids, the Geminids, etc.  The link below will take you to a site that discusses this year's meteor showers.
