Here’s when Leonid meteor shower should peak
The Leonid meteor shower peaks as the supermoon wanes
WASHINGTON (AP) — It’s a treat to see a supermoon. But that bright glowing orb will still be almost full when the Leonid meteor shower peaks this weekend, likely obscuring all but the brightest meteors in most locations. The Leonids are known for their high-speed meteors, which can travel at up to 44 miles per second (70 kilometers per second).
A High-Speed Leonids Meteor Shower Peaks This Weekend—Here’s How To Watch
Meteors during the Leonid shower are considered to be some of the fastest to appear each year, NASA said, as they travel at about 44 miles per second across the night sky, and they are known for their fireballs—caused by larger debris—that are often brighter and leave behind “long and colorful tails.”
The last supermoon of the year will peak alongside the Leonid meteor shower
Look up to the night sky Friday night for November’s full moon, 2024’s last supermoon, followed by the Leonid meteor shower set to peak Saturday night into Sunday.
