Leonid Meteor Shower (18-19 November, 2015)

(Before It's News)

Morning sky looking north-east as seen from Adelaide at 5:00 am local daylight saving time on Wednesday November 18 and Thursday November 189 showing Jupiter, Mars and Venus near Leo, with the Leonid Meteor shower radiant indicated with a starburst.

On the morning of Wednesday November 18 the Leonid Meteor shower peaked (from the point of view of Australians, that's 17 November UT), with the best time being between 3-4 am. However, there will be still some meteors on the morning of the 19th (18th UT)

This is a  not a particularly good Leonid year. Very few meteors will be visible (maybe one to two per hour). You can use the Meteor Flux Estimator to get a prediction for your location. Use the 13 Leonids option and don't forget to set the year to 2015.
