The 2009 Leonid Meteor Shower is being called the biggest meteor shower of the modern age. Astronomers are predicting 20 to 30 meteors per hour over the Americas. The Leonid Meteor shower may last up to two days so there should be optimal viewing across the U.S.
From KMOV St. Louis: The Leonid meteor shower peaks in the pre-dawn hours of Tuesday, November 17th in the Eastern sky. Now, the forecast does have a rain system rolling through, so there is a chance of clouds and rain ruining the event. But stay up to date on the forecast and we’ll let you know if there’s any changes.
