Leonid meteor shower 2021
Visible In India? :
The Leonid meteor shower will be active from 6 November to 30 November, producing its peak rate of meteors around 17 November.
Over this period, there will be a chance of seeing Leonid meteors whenever the shower’s radiant point – in the constellation Leo – is above the horizon, with the number of visible meteors increasing the higher the radiant point is in the sky.
At its peak, the shower is expected to produce a nominal rate of around 15 meteors per hour (ZHR).
The shower is expected to reach peak activity at around 23:00 IST on 17 November 2021, and so the best displays might be seen after the radiant rises on 18 November.
