Mark your calendars, skywatchers! The Leonid meteor shower – nature’s own light show – is dazzling Earth’s skies until Nov 30, with peak activity around Nov 18. 🌌 Expect meteors to streak across the night sky like cosmic sparklers as the constellation Leo rises higher each night.
Here’s the tea: the best views happen after midnight local time when Leo climbs above the horizon. No fancy equipment needed – just grab a blanket, avoid city lights (bye, TikTok doomscrolling!), and let your eyes adjust. Pro tip: Download a stargazing app like SkyView to locate Leo faster. 🔭
Why This Matters
The Leonids are famous for historic \"meteor storms,\" though this year promises a chill 10-15 meteors per hour – perfect for a laid-back stargazing session with friends. Bonus: Moonlight won’t steal the spotlight this time! 🌑
Whether you’re a #NightPhotography pro or just want campfire vibes without the fire, this celestial event bridges cultures under one sky. Tag someone who needs this cosmic reminder to look up! ✨
