Strong Leonid Meteor shower tonite and tomorrow

Recommended Posts

The annual meteor shower may be visible tonite. Watch the eastern skies. 40 years ago it particularly lit up the skies with 1000's of streaks a minute, as well as fire balls galore.

Looked at about 3 am chicago time. some low clouds were coming in and i was too close to bright lights. Didn't see any. You have better luck?

The skies were over-cast here in NJ - But the past two years were pretty good. I'll try again tonight, if I'm up late again... (The best time is usually around 2-3 AM on the East coast of North America) - - for those meteors out of Leo's asterism...
