Get Ready for a Celestial Doubleheader!
Skywatchers, it’s time to mark your calendars! This Sunday night and early Monday morning, the skies will put on a show with the dazzling 2025 Leonid Meteor Shower and, if you’re lucky, a stunning aurora encore. Make sure you grab your favorite blanket, a thermos of hot chocolate, and head out to a dark spot. The Leonids, known for their spectacular displays every few decades, are back and promising to light up the November night.
For an extra treat, you might catch another round of shimmering auroras streaking across the sky. The Leonids have a reputation for memorable meteor storms, so don’t sleep on this chance—unless you prefer to count shooting stars instead of sheep. Just remember: meteor showers and auroras don’t care if you have a morning meeting, but hey, you’ll have a stellar story to tell in the break room!
Tips for the Best Viewing Experience
- Find a location away from city lights for maximum visibility.
- Look up after midnight for peak Leonid activity.
- Dress warmly—it’s November and meteors don’t hand out scarves.
Whether you’re a seasoned astronomer or just love an excuse to stay out past bedtime, this Sunday offers a rare cosmic double feature you won’t want to miss. Who knew November nights could compete with Netflix?
