Do you know that there are #meteor showers all over the year ? The most famous northern one is the #Perseids, happening in August.
In November, there is another one, called the #Leonids. It could be very spectacular, as seen in this #APOD #photography.

In 1833, the #Leonids reached up to 100,000 #ShootingStars per hour (~28 per second). Imagine 🤩

I thought the #leonids were done, but I just saw a huge red/orange #meteor 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. #Leonids #MeteorShower

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 #northumberland #leonids

Just observed a spectacular, bluish fireball in the eastern sky. #Leonids #meteor

Went out to look for stray #Leonids with the fam. They saw a couple (I saw none) but snagged a quick pic of Jupiter and moons. #AstroPhotography

More #Leonids from last night!

Here a faint #meteor from @diasdunsink with #Orion and #Taurus in th background. The #Leonids tend to be fast and faint, like this one.

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

Heading out to watch the meteor shower #leonids

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. #wawx #seattle #meteor #leonids

Nuicht vergessen mal rauszugucken oderreinzuhören - heute Nacht sind noch ne Menge Leoniden zu sehen/hören.

Peak war allerdings schon gestern Nacht. Aber jetzt ab Mitternacht könnte nochmal tüchtig was kommen. Mit dem Graves Radar auf 143.050 kann man schön Reflektionen hören.

#amateurfunk #hamradio #leonids

The #Leonids #meteor shower peaked last night and despite the weather, detected activity was high across the #ukmon 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 #Leonids outburst with potential for meteors in the 100s per hour. Maybe worth a look...

Reminder! A spectacular Leonid meteor outburst may light up the sky tonight

Those of you with clear skies tonight might still catch some of the #leonids #meteorshower. It peaked in the pre-dawn hours today (17 Nov), but the shower continues until the end of the month. Best seen after midnight. Get outside, find somewhere safe and dark, and #lookup.

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.
#leonids #sky

On Friday night we have a great opportunity to see meteors from the #leonids meteor shower. Head out from midnight and scan the skies! Wrap up warm! You can watch live captures on our #ukmon cameras here: https://ukmeteornetwork.co.uk/live/#/

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. #leonids #books #reading #ReadingPile
