On Friday night we sat outside for a while around midnight hoping to see some meteors from the Leonid meteor shower. We did see two or three meteors in ten or fifteen minutes, but I didn’t think they were coming from Leo at all. On Saturday night, at 11:45, which was supposed to be the peak of the shower, we went back outside looking and saw two meteors that were definitely coming from the direction of Taurus, not Leo. So I have to say the Leonid shower was a total bust from my point of view. But it’s still a good excuse to sit down and look at the night sky.
