Strong Leonid Meteor shower expected Nov 17

Ok, folks, a big heads up ! This should be worth watching so I am posting this today so you can make your plans for tomorrow.

Many times through the years I have watched the Leonid Meteor Showers but usually have been unable to truly appreciate its beauty because of interference by a bright moon and/or city lights.

And, of course, overcast skies, rain, or really brrrrrr cold can interfere with happy viewing.

But sometimes conditions have been ‘just right’ and the meteor shower has been spectacular. And, reportedly, an opportunity for some really good viewing will be Nov 17.

So, if you are away from bright city lights and have a good view of the sky (without clouds, rain, etc), then get a lawn chair and some blankets and prepare to watch this year’s meteor shower.

Alas for those of us in the USA the viewing reportedly will be better in Asia, but there still should be good viewing in North America so do not dismay.

So, regardless of where you are, this should be a great year to see the Leonid Meteor Shower. To read about the best times and locations for viewing, HERE’S THE LINK.
