We are showers. We are in the midst of the Leonid. The duration of this shower covers the period of November 14th through 20th. Maximum occurred on November 17th. Actually, there were some reports that it may have occurred earlier this morning as well. Maximum hourly rate typically reaches 10 to 15. But most notable are periods of enhanced activity that occur every 33 years. Directly associated with the periodic return of comet Temple Tuttle. During these exceptional returns, the Leonids have produced rates of up to several thousands of meters per hour. The Leonids are swept meteors, which are best known for leaving a high percentage of persistence. I have not seen any Leonids, but I haven't gotten up before sunrise this week. But if you are up by sunrise, or very late in the evening from midnight on before sunrise, is actually the best time to see meteor showers. Go out and see if you can see them. You might see a few of them in the early evening hours, but there aren't that many of the Leonids streaking through the skies, but they're still there. I'd love to hear observation reports of anybody that has seen some of the Leonids during this particular show. Couple of comments. Comet 2025 A6 Lemmon is passing through the inflation of Ophiuchus low to the west. By the end of the month, it may be too low and lost in the evening twilight glow. Comet Lemmon is visible, was visible with the naked eye from earlier in the month. Right now, it's dimmed to about six or seven magnitudes by month's end, so early in the month. you may still be able to catch it through a telescope. A 3 to 4 inch scope or greater and dark skies will still be needed to see more detail. I did see it about a month ago and it had a nice greenish scope when it was higher up. One that's a little bit dimmer than that, we have comet C2025-R2-Swan is passing through the constellations of the Aquarius and into Pisces by month's end. It's shining around 8 and giving to about 10th magnitude by month's end. Till it's swan is fairly close to Saturn and Neptune, so it shouldn't be too hard to find on...
