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.
