I thought the were done, but I just saw a huge red/orange fireball streak across the sky before burning out. Long tail. Cool.

Has anyone seen any Leonids in the last few nights? I just saw one tonight by chance. I didn’t even know what they were, just knew I saw something red, green and BIG shoot through the sky while I was hanging out in my backyard.

Was the first clear night for a while so went Leonid spotting (something incredibly bright flashed across the sky at the periphery of my vision) and said hello to Leo and friends

Lots of faint from our @diasdunsink south-facing camera too! The slow-moving things are all planes and satellites, but the very brief flashes are nearly all . Hope some of you saw them live!

from NWS Seattle:

Usually don't get to tweet about this because it is cloudy...the Lenoid meteor shower is in progress. It peaked Thursday evening but there is a chance of a quick burst of more of them tonight between 10 and 1030 pm. If they appear they will be low on the eastern horizon.

The shower peaked last night and despite the weather, detected activity was high across the camera network. Overall we've detected 1550 leonid meteors and matched over 200 orbits.

6am UTC (1am Eastern time) there is a good chance of a cheeky little outburst with potential for meteors in the 100s per hour. Maybe worth a look...

Stepped outside to see the Leonid meteor shower at 4:30am. Not much action. At least not as much as I saw in 2001 when I felt like I was watching Star Wars.

05.00. A short spell shivering outside under an immense starry sky, watching the Leonids – just three meteors scything through the dark – then inside to warmth and books and coffee. And all is well.

Deep time outside and in today, and Laurie Lee’s early poetry to get me ready for writing about my own past.
