The Leonid meteor shower is peaking tonight around 2am, November 17, 2012. The Leonids will remain highly visible throughout the weekend though, so you can catch them any night so long as it’s dark enough.
The Leonids meteor shower occurs annually around mid-November, as the Earth moves through a stream of debris that was left behind by the comet Tempel-Tuttle. The comet follows a 33-year-orbit around the sun, and the meteor shower that is associated with it appears to radiate out of the constellation of the lion, Leo.
The sky map shown above should give you a clear idea of where in the sky to observe them this year.
“We’re predicting 20-30 meteors per hour over the Americas, and as many as 200-300 per hour over Asia,” NASA meteor expert Bill Cooke of the Meteoroid Environment Office the Marshall center said in a statement. “Our forecast is in good accord with independent theoretical work by other astronomers.”
