Hey stargazers! The Leonid meteor shower, aka the "King of Meteor Showers," is peaking tonight! According to the Beijing Planetarium, mid-November is prime time for Leonids, and this year the show’s on from this evening (Nov 17) through the early hours of the 18th. 🌠
Here’s how to make the most of tonight’s cosmic fireworks:
- Location: Find a suburban hilltop or any open area away from city lights. The darker, the better! 🌃
- Timing: Best viewing is between midnight and dawn, but you can catch meteors anytime after dusk. ⏰
- Gear: Bring a blanket or reclining chair, warm drinks (chai or kopi, anyone?), and a red-tinted flashlight to keep your night vision. 🛋️☕🔦
- Friends: Grab your squad—meteor watching is more fun with buddies! Plus, group oohs and aahs are the best. 🤩
Whether you’re in Mumbai, Manila, Jakarta, or Kuala Lumpur, just look up and let the Leonids sweep you off your feet. Don’t forget to share your shots and moments online! ✨📸
