If it's clear, it might be worth braving the cold on Thursday night. The peak is predicted to occur at 11:50 pm and it may only last a period of minutes, not hours.
Alpha Monocerotid Outburst in 2019?
Well known meteor scientists Peter Jenniskens and Esko Lyytinen have predicted that there may be an outburst of the alpha Monocertoid meteor shower on the night of November 21/22, 2019.Count me in if it's clear. Proving Grounds site?
As with all meteor showers, if you want to see the best meteors, don’t look at the constellation they come from, Monoceros - look in the opposite direction. This article recommends otherwise because they’re trying to collect scientific observations and be certain that the meteors reported are part of the outburst.
So what is the best direction to be looking? Thank you
Thinking that this might be an excellent gift idea for my 9 year old for his next birthday! Thanks for the suggestion!
