Best Viewing Times and Locations

To catch the most meteors, head out after midnight. The Leonids are expected to produce around 15 meteors per hour at their peak, and you might even spot a colorful fireball or two. However, to get the best view, it’s important to find a dark location far from city lights. 

What to Expect from the Leonid Meteor Shower

The Leonid shower is the result of debris left behind by Comet Tempel-Tuttle. As the Earth passes through this trail of dust, meteors burn up in the atmosphere, creating a stunning light show. 

So, grab your coat, find a dark spot, and get ready to watch the skies light up! Just remember to give your eyes a few minutes to adjust to the darkness for the best experience.
