Explanation:
Will this year's
Leonid meteor shower be as good as
last year's?
No one knows for sure.
Possibly, however, in the waning nighttime hours of
November 18 and
lasting throughout much of November 19,
sky gazers across the globe may get their
last chance ever to see a
meteor storm.
Although the glare of a nearly
full Moon will likely hide the presence of
many faint meteors, plenty of
bright meteors
may well streak across the other side of the sky.
The above image was taken during 2001 as
Leonids stormed over
Ayers Rock,
Australia.
The image is actually a digital composite of 22 separate frames,
including one at sunset.
The
Gum Nebula is visible on the upper left.
