   17 November 2014

   Tonight will mark the peak of the Leonid Meteor Shower. An absolute wonderful display for the November skies where the Summer Autumn stars such as Scorpius Sagittarius Capricorn Aquarius Picses Aries and Vulcupela are settling down until the June and the Winter stars such as Orion Taurus Gemini Cancer Leo Virgo are making their return. They start off with 15-20 Meteors but at Midnight everything starts to happen. The main source of the debris is Comet Tempel-Tuttle and in my opinion the best of the Meteor showers in the Calendar with the Quadrantids coming a close second.
