Leonid meteor shower peaks Nov 17-18

[cryowizard]

11pm Eastern is the peak time, but Leo will still be below horizon at that time for us Northern Americans.

Last time I was crazy enough to brave November cold on a beach for hours during the night, that is in 2002, meteors started to appear out of the South-Eastern quadrant around 3am. If you live on Coney Island, this is good news since South-East means away from city lights.
