Behind the essence of this meteor shower is the wonderful interplay of the universe. Every 33 years, Comet Tempel-Tuttle comes close to the Sun, and the radiation releases a lot of cometary material, mainly dust, from its surface into the surrounding space. If it gets close to the Earth, the gravitational field will take care of capturing and pulling it, which will cause a unique meteor shower.
In the search for the history of the Leonids, we reach the year 902. The first scientific report was prepared in 1799 by the famous naturalist Alexander von Humboldt during an expedition in the Orinoco river basin. The most amazing experience, however, was prepared by the Leonids in 1966 again over North America. At its peak, a frequency of up to 100,000 meteorites per hour was recorded! According to eyewitnesses, meteors literally rained from the sky. But what can we expect this year?
Predpokladaná aktivita tento rok bude od 12. do 21.novembra. Rýchlosť pohybu častíc je pomerne vysoká, okolo 71 km/h, pričom v roji je málo drobných častíc. Vedci očakávajú dve maximá, prvé, ostré (trvajúce jednu až tri hodiny) 13.novembra o 17.17 UTC s frekvenciou 250 meteoritov za hodinu, druhé (trvajúce jeden deň) 19.novembra o 7.28 UTC with a frequency of 100. Between the maxima, the expected frequency is 10-20 meteorites per hour. The most convenient connection times for these directions are: SW - NE: 01 - 05 UTC, E - W: 04 - 07 UTC, SE - NW: 06 -10 UTC and S - S: 23 - 04 and 07 - 11 UTC.
As for the visual observation in Europe, it is seasonal, because the moon will be full and the maximums come out more or less at the time of day. The chance is more for the second maximum, provided the weather is cloudless.
Good luck and nice connections!
