Experience the Splendor of the Leonid Meteor Shower

The Leonid meteor shower, an annual celestial event, will grace the skies from November 3 to December 2, 2024. This spectacular display reaches its peak during the night of November 16 and into the early hours of November 17. The shower occurs as the Earth traverses through the cosmic debris left behind by the comet 55P/Tempel-Tuttle.

To witness the Leonid meteor shower in all its glory, it is advisable to choose a location far from city lights. A dark environment enhances the visibility of the meteors streaking across the sky. Position yourself facing away from the Leo constellation to increase your chances of catching more meteors. Additionally, give your eyes at least 30 minutes to adapt to the dark surroundings, which will help you better spot the meteors.

Don’t miss the opportunity to enjoy this mesmerizing natural phenomenon. Mark your calendars and prepare for an unforgettable night under the stars observing the Leonid meteor shower.
