The Leonid Meteor Shower Is Back: Here’s How to See It From the UK
The best time to see the Leonids is in the early hours of Sunday 17th November, specifically between midnight and dawn. That’s when the most meteors will be visible because that’s when the radiant point in the constellation Leo is highest in the sky. Yes, that means staying up late or getting up stupidly early.
The Zenithal Hourly Rate (ZHR) is expected to be 15 meteors per hour. You don’t need a telescope or binoculars - it’s best to use the naked eye to spot meteors. The best time to see them is after midnight, the Sky at Night said.
The Taurids take place every autumn and are known for their slow-moving, long-lasting meteors. Find out more here.
