Helpful Tips For Viewing the Leonids Meteor Shower
This annual shower will have a peak in visibility in mid-November.
Leonids 2024 Duration: November 3rd - December 2nd
leonid meteor shower the leonids are visible in the night sky during november, and this observation was made by the french aeronauts henri giffard 1825 1882 and w de fonvielle during a trip in the balloon 'l'hirondelle' from voyages aeriens paris,
According to Earthsky, the best time to view the Leonids is predicted to be the night of November 17th into the evening of November 18th. Plan to be up late if you want the best shot of seeing meteors, from midnight to the crack of dawn if you can make it. Unfortunately, the moon will be in a waning gibbous as Earthsky notes, so there may be more brightness in the night sky that could wash out some Leonids.
Never heard it described as the entire month before , I thought there were a couple of "peak" days ,
thats when i usually go outside , get cold , groan at the inevitable cloud cover and go back inside : (
I HAVE NEVER HAD LUCK SEEING METEOR SHOWERS.....NEVER.
