The Leonid Meteor Shower Simplified


Prime viewing of the Leonid Meteor Shower as seen from the northeast United States will be on tuesday the 17th of November from 3:30am -5:30am in the dark southeastern sky. As compared to the 500 meteors/hour, expected to be seen from central and eastern Asia, our more modest viewing of a few dozen meteors/hour will still be impressive as meteors are expected to trail for a number of seconds, possibly even minutes.
