Get Ready for the Leonid Meteor Shower 2024!
The Leonid meteor shower is about to dazzle the night sky, and stargazers across North America are in for a real treat. Mark your calendars for the early morning hours before dawn on Tuesday, November 18th. This annual event promises a stunning celestial display, with bright meteors zooming across the heavens.
The Leonids are famous for their fast, bright meteors, which can sometimes leave persistent trails. While this year’s shower won’t reach storm levels, you can still expect a decent show if you find a dark spot away from city lights. Make sure to bundle up, grab a blanket, and give your eyes some time to adjust to the darkness for the best viewing experience.
Stargazing tip: patience pays off—sometimes the most spectacular meteors arrive just when you’re about to call it a night. And hey, if you make a wish, maybe the universe will throw in a little extra luck!
