Leonids Meteor Shower 2025: Don’t Miss the Peak!
Get ready for a celestial spectacle as the Leonids Meteor Shower reaches its peak this November! Stargazers can expect to see around 10 to 15 bright meteors every hour streaking across the night sky. If you’re a fan of shooting stars (or just need an excuse to stay up late), now’s your chance to catch one of nature’s most dazzling fireworks shows.
How to Watch the Leonids
You don’t need any special equipment—just wrap up warm, grab a comfortable deck chair, and look up! The Leonids are best viewed from a dark, open space away from city lights. Let your eyes adjust for about 20 minutes, and you’ll be ready for the show. Pro tip: bring a thermos of hot chocolate for maximum enjoyment (and to keep your hands from freezing off!).
Meteor showers remind us how tiny we are in the vast universe. The Leonids, famous for their historic meteor storms, might not deliver thousands per hour this year, but hey—sometimes it’s about quality, not quantity. Let’s face it, any excuse to gaze at the stars and make a wish is a good one!
