Leonis Minorid meteor shower 2021
Visible In India? :
The Leonis Minorid meteor shower will be active from 19 October to 27 October, producing its peak rate of meteors around 24 October.
Over this period, there will be a chance of seeing Leonis Minorid meteors whenever the shower’s radiant point – in the constellation Leo Minor – 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 2 meteors per hour (ZHR).
The shower is expected to reach peak activity at around 18:00 IST on 24 October 2021, and so the best displays might be seen before dawn on 24 October and after the radiant rises on 25 October.
