Leonid Meteor Showers
Nov 9^th, 2009 at 10:05pm

Coming soon! They start to ramp up tomorrow with the peak about Nov 17th.

Circle Nov. 17 on your calendar, for early that morning a moderate to possibly very strong showing of annual Leonid meteor shower is likely.

The very strong display will favor those living across most of central and eastern Asia. In this region, meteor rates might briefly rise to a few hundred per hour (the time frame for the most intense activity is anticipated sometime around 21:40 GMT).

A far more modest, but still potentially enjoyable display of a few dozen Leonid meteors per hour is expected to favor North America. In the United States and Canada, eastern observers will be particularly well-positioned for maximum activity, expected sometime between 3:30 and 5:30 a.m. EST, when the radiant of the Leonid shower will be well up in the dark southeastern sky.

Also a big plus in 2009 is the lack of any interference from the moon. New moon is on Nov. 16, so skies will be dark for catching the fainter meteor streaks. And the first light of dawn will not break until shortly after 5 a.m. local time.

I now know the night of monsoon type rain. I hope I get my monthly clear night that night but we just had one last week so I am not placing bets. Paul

I always look forward to these because I've been lucky enough to hear them whizzing and popping as they burn out. Always a big thrill for me. Marc

Lefty CH.com Alumnus Offline Posts: 759 Gender:	Re: Leonid Meteor Showers Reply #6 - Nov 12^th, 2009 at 1:27pm Thanks for the heads up...! but I know as usual I will see nothing due to the crap weather here in Ireland. The only chance I have seeing a meteorite shower is if it comes crashing through my living room window..and even then I'll probably be in the kitchen making a cup of tea. Lefty..!
