The great storms are over, but the Leonid meteor shower still isn't ready to settle down. This year, astronomers expect two modest outbursts as our planet grazes several streams of comet debris between November 13 and 23.
Think of it as an encore.
Where is best to view the Leonid Meteor Shower?
The best display will occur on November 19 as twilight comes to Europe and North America turns into view. That's when Earth intercepts the trail expected to produce the brightest meteors. A waning crescent moon will not significantly hamper observations.
The encounter favors observers located in the Atlantic, Caribbean, and the eastern half of the Americas. For skywatchers in western Europe, the display is expected to reach its height just as morning twilight begins to interfere.
