Sky Watching Nov-17
Sky Watching
Sat., November 17
- Leonid meteor shower peaks at 3 a.m The Leonid meteor shower has at times produced incredible storms of meteors. This year is not predicted to be anything out of the ordinary, but there’s always a chance of seeing a good number of meteors, especially this year since there will be no Moon in the sky after midnight when meteors are most frequent. Almost 20 meteor per hour
- Mercury is too close to the sun
- Venus is still a morning “star,” shining brightly before sunrise
- Mars has faded into the west moving behind the sun.
- Jupiter is now in Taurus, close to Aldebaran and the Hyades.
- Uranus is visible most of the night in Pisces. It sets around 3 a.m.
- Neptune remains in the depths of Aquarius all month, and sets around midnight.
