Tonight is the Leonid shower

On the evening of Saturday and Sunday, between November 18-19, 2006, there will be a shower of "falling stars" over the sky of Israel

The Barkat observatory in Maccabi stated that in order to watch the meter there is no need to go to the observatory or use any other optical aid - you have to look at the sky above your head (Zenit) starting at 12:30 at night - and enjoy.

You can also watch the sky the following two days and try to watch the "remnants" of the meteor shower.

On Sunday, November 19, 2006 at 19:30, there will be a lecture by Dr. Daniel Leloche from the Weizmann Institute on the asteroids, and there will also be an observation of the Leonid meteor and the asteroid Iris.

  1. Hello,
    It's a shame that you put in news about the night between the 18th and 19th of the month on the 19th of the month!
