The Leonid meteor shower is held from November 14th to 21st every year, especially around November 17th, and some meteors burst out from the direction of the constellation Leo, which is about a little north-east and a horizontal altitude of about 40 degrees in the sky, which is the Leonid meteor shower. Therefore, the exact date is difficult to determine, as meteor showers can be seen during this time, but the clarity of the sight is different. It is mainly affected by factors such as the rotation of the earth, solar activity, and local climatic conditions.

Meteor showers are not like celestial phenomena such as solar eclipses and lunar eclipses. It appears at regular intervals every year. Because it depends on the position of the Earth's orbit. However, some vintages are older and some are smaller. The Leonid meteor shower is around November 17 every year.

Each meteor shower occurs at the same time of the year, but there is usually little flow and only eruptions occur in a few years. This is because meteor showers are generally caused by the eruption of comets, and comets have a certain orbital period, so the orbital period of a comet is related to the burst period of the meteor shower.
For the Leonid meteor shower, it reaches its maximum on two days of November each year. As a result, its comet orbits over a period of 33 years, so there is an explosion every 33 years (but not badly for several years in a row). The last time it sparked a lot of publicity was in 1998 and 2000, and you probably still remember it.
Therefore, the next time will have to wait until after 2030, when the time comes, there will be a lot of publicity, and you won't miss it.
All that is left to do now is to stay alive and wait for the Leonid meteor shower to arrive.

The first recorded Leonid meteor shower in human history was in 902 AD.
Meteors usually appear sporadically in a single sporadic manner, which has nothing to do with each other, and the time and direction of their appearance are irregular, with an average of about 10 meteors per hour, which are called occasional meteors. Sometimes the number of meteors in a certain area of the sky increases significantly for a certain period of time, dozens or more per hour, and it looks like rain, a phenomenon called a meteor shower. Extraordinarily large meteor showers are also known as meteor storms.
Meteor showers are the result of a large group of meteoroids breaking into the Earth's atmosphere, and this group of meteoroids is called a meteor swarm.
In 902, Chinese astronomers recorded the Leonid meteorstorm for the first time (an ancient Chinese astronomical record).
In 1799, the famous German scientist Alexander von Humboldt recorded this celestial phenomenon in Venezuela.
A rare meteor storm occurred in North America, with an estimated 240,000 meteors piercing the sky in nine hours.
1834 The radiant is discovered in the constellation Leo, hence the name Leonid meteor shower. Obses identified two occurrences of the same meteor group observed in Venezuela in November of two years, with a cycle of years. The astronomical community began to recognize and study the Leonid meteor shower.
In 1866, the comet Temple Tertar was discovered and its orbit was determined, and meteor storms were observed in Europe; Newton proves that the Leonid meteor shower has been active since 902. There are 10 years in total, 6 of which are taken from official Chinese history books.
Opolz gave Comet 1866 orbit, which is known to be the parent comet of the Leonid meteor group because of its close orbit to the Leonid meteor group.
In 1899, the expected meteor storm did not occur, and public confidence in the reliability of astronomical calculations was shaken.
The Leonid meteor shower was observed again in Canada, with 1,000 meteors per hour. The following year, it was seen again in the southwestern United States and Mexico, with a maximum of 2,000 per hour.

The Leonid meteor shower was first observed on November 12, 1833. By the end of the 19th century, the planets were unobservable due to their perturbations moving away from the Earth. But by November 17, 1966, the Leonid meteor shower had reappeared.
Some people say that Chinese astronomers recorded the Leonid meteorstorm for the first time in 906 AD, do you have any classic proof? Who is "Newton" who "proves that the Leonid meteor shower has been active since 902"?

Month. 2.Every year from November 14th to 21st, especially around November 17th, some meteors burst out from the direction of the constellation Leo, which is the Leonid meteor shower.
3.The "Leonid Sakura Plum" meteor shower is not a meteor shower on the "Leoids".
4.Even if there is a meteor shower on the constellation Leo, it will not be visible to the naked eye on Earth.
5.The Leonid meteor shower is formed by particles thrown by a comet called Temple Tuttle that slides through the atmosphere.
6.Because the key hail projection on the celestial sphere coincides with the projection of the constellation Leo on the celestial sphere, it looks as if the meteor shower is ejected from the constellation Leo on Earth, so it is called the "Leonid" meteor shower.

Q: Do Leonids have a meteor shower every year in what month?
A: Every year, it takes place in November.
The Leonid meteor shower is held every year from November 14 to 21, especially around November 17, when some meteors burst out from the direction of the constellation Leo, which is the Leonid meteor shower.
The reason why the Leonid meteor shower arose was due to a comet called Temple Tuttle. The comet revolves around the sun, and at the same time, it constantly scatters its own material, like a pesticide, scattering many small particles in its orbit, but these small particles are not evenly distributed. Some places are thin, some places are dense, these particles pass through the earth, and where the earth encounters thin particles, there are fewer meteors, and where there are dense places, there are more meteors.
These small particles are susceptible to the effects of various high-profile factors, but when the comet returns, the Earth passes through the dense area of particles it has recently released. People on Earth will see massive meteor showers.
Since Comet Temple Tuttle has a cycle of years, the Leonid meteor shower is a typical periodic meteor shower, with a peak period of about 33 years.
History of the Leonid meteor shower.
In 902, Chinese astronomers recorded the Leonid meteorstorm for the first time (an ancient Chinese astronomical record).
In 1799, the famous German scientist Alexander von Humboldt recorded this celestial phenomenon in Venezuela.
In 1833, there was a rare meteor storm in North America, with an estimated 240,000 meteors piercing the sky in nine hours;
In 1866, the comet Temple Tertar was discovered and its orbit was determined, and meteor storms were observed in Europe;
In 1899, the expected meteor storm did not occur, and public confidence in the reliability of astronomical calculations was shaken.
In 1933, there were still no reports of meteor storms;
In 1966, another spectacular meteor storm occurred in the Midwest of the United States, with an estimated 100,000 meteors falling from the sky per hour at its peak.
In 1998, the Leonid meteor shower returned to Earth, making most modern people truly recognize the king of meteor showers.
On the night of November 18, 2001, more than 30 million people around the world waited for the meteor shower.
The peculiarity of the Leonid meteor shower.
After the Leonid meteor shower, there will be a cloud-like trail in the sky for a short time, which is the meteor remnant. The Leonid meteor shower also sometimes has fire meteors (meteors with a brightness of more than 3 magnitude are called fire meteors).
The Leonid meteor shower's meteor swarm is characterized by its high speed, which is mostly small (<1mm), but extremely high, moving at a speed of 71 km s relative to the Earth, reaching 100 times the initial velocity of the bullet.

That time was on 11/19/09 from around 10:30 the day before. The Leonid meteor shower, that time was particularly good in scale.
At that time, the best thing to look at was two times around 12:09, and once it looked like an airplane had passed by, and there was a very wide bright band.
In 2001 there was a large Leonid meteor storm.
The Leonid meteor storm that arrived in the early morning of November 19, 2001 was the first meteor shower observed in China since DAO in the 20th century. Meteor bursts lasting five or six hours peaked at more than 10,000 per hour.
The Leonid meteor shower is a meteor shower with the constellation Leo as its radiant, which occurs in November every year and occurs about every 33 years, with a large explosion called a meteor storm. Due to the constraints of observation, China has not had the opportunity to meet the four meteor storms that have occurred since the 20th century. The reason why the meteor shower can be clearly observed in the early morning of November 19, 2001 is that the moon phase is the first quarter moon, and the new moon leaves early in the middle of the night, with less strong light interference, and the weather is fine, so that the meteor shower is very clear.
The Geminid meteor shower revisits Earth on December 7 Beijing will be observed on December 13. >>>More
