The predictions are coming in from meteor experts and researchers from around the world regarding the level of activity that may occur in different parts of the world. A common consensus for this year is that the Asian continent will witness the most brilliant abundance of shooting stars this time. The astronomers David Asher of Ireland, Mikhail Maslov of Russia and France Jeremie Vaubaillon have identified Indonesia and India as places to wider audience. Even NASA’s Meteoroid Environment Bureau knowledgeable Danielle Moser and Bill Cooke, agree with the trio of astronomers.

Making visible both in the morning of day 18 or 17 November (depending on which part of the world you are), the Leonid meteor shower is expected to flood the sky with about 20 to 30 shooting stars per hour. Not exactly impressive quantity of the 1830s or early 1990s, where thousands of shooting stars was observed in 2009 are expected to do better than the previous year.

Mother Earth will be a flight path through the fragments of meteoric dust originating from the constellation Leo.
