The weather and the moonless sky should be optimal for viewing the Leonid Meteor Shower tonight and tomorrow night. But forecasting meteor showers is harder than forecasting the weather! Tomorrow night should be the best night between 900pm and midnight but it would be better if we lived in the Northeast U.S. or Europe, but reports coming in from Queensland, Australia last night were surprisingly good…so there is some cause for optimism. The “shooting stars†will be best visible here probably after midnight tonight, but tomorrow night is expected to be the prime night. They should be visible in any part of the sky, but I would favor looking more to the north and east. Make sure you get away from the city lights, give your eyes 15 minutes to adjust to darkness and make sure you bundle up. Happy viewing!
