Tonight’s Sky Lights Up with Leonid Meteor Shower Peak
Calling all stargazers! The Leonid meteor shower, dubbed the "King of Meteor Showers," is set to dazzle skies worldwide tonight (November 17) through early Tuesday. With up to 15 meteors per hour expected, this cosmic show promises a mix of bright streaks and occasional fireballs – perfect for late-night adventurers and romantics alike. 🌌
Pro tip: Escape city lights! The Beijing Planetarium recommends suburban hilltops or open fields for optimal viewing. Bring snacks, cozy blankets, and friends – because meteor-watching is better with company. ⌛ Peak viewing runs from dusk until dawn, with the darkest hours (after midnight) offering the best odds.
Why This Year Rocks
2025’s shower coincides with a nearly moonless sky, creating ideal dark conditions. No fancy gear needed – just your eyes! Let them adjust for 20 minutes, and you’ll catch more shooting stars than a Star Wars sequel trilogy marathon. 🚀
