Answer 1

Meteor showers can be disappointing if your skies are cloudy or if you live in the wrong location. This weekend's Leonid meteor shower, for example, will be best viewed from parts of Europe and eastern North America.

Skywatchers elsewhere, including western North America, should see a typical rendition of the annual show—a few meteors per hour—but will miss the peak flurry, expected to start around 11:45 p.m. ET and last a couple hours.

How can I best view a meteor shower?

If you live near a brightly lit city, drive away from the glow of city lights and toward the constellation from which the meteors will appear to radiate.
For example, drive north to view the Leonids. Driving south may lead you to darker skies, but the glow will dominate the northern horizon, where Leo rises. Perseid meteors will appear to "rain" into the atmosphere from the constellation Perseus, which rises in the northeast around 11 p.m. in mid-August.
After you've escaped the city glow, find a dark, secluded spot where oncoming car headlights will not periodically ruin your sensitive night vision. Look for state or city parks or other safe, dark sites.
Once you have settled at your observing spot, lay back or position yourself so the horizon appears at the edge of your peripheral vision, with the stars and sky filling your field of view. Meteors will instantly grab your attention as they streak by.

Answer 2

Earth is heading for a cloud of comet dust that could produce an outburst of Leonid meteors on Nov. 19th.

Forecasters differ on when the outburst will occur.

Estimates range from 0445 UT to 0630 UT on Nov. 19th (11:45 p.m. on Nov. 18th to 1:30 am EST on Nov. 19th).

The timing favors western Europe, Africa, Brazil and eastern parts of North America.

Experts urge enthusiasts everywhere to keep an eye out for Leonid meteors the nights of Nov. 17th – 19th. "The best time to look is just before local dawn when the constellation Leo is high in the sky."
