About Leonids 2026
The Leonids meteor shower peaks on the night of November 17, 2026 (November 17/18). The legendary storm shower: usually 10â15 meteors per hour, but every ~33 years it erupts into thousands per hour (last storm: 2001). Radiates from the Lion.
Best practice for any meteor shower: dark sky, no telescope, eyes adjusted for 30 minutes, look halfway up toward the radiant's constellation. The counter above runs to the peak night; meteors are visible several nights either side.
