- Do you want to see hundreds of meteors shooting across the night sky? I'll show you how to see tonight's Meteor Storm! Remember that the farther away you are from light pollution the more meteors you will be able to see. What questions do you have and how was your experience seeing it? Be sure to let me know in the comment section below.

I watched from roughly 11:30 PM to 3:30 AM (eastern), able to see roughly magnitude 4 stars. Early in the evening, it seemed fairly active, roughly 24 meteors per hour, but decreasing in frequency closer to 1:00 AM.
That is a good amount. You must have some dark skies! I only saw 2 at my place over 20 minutes.
@@LateNightAstronomy I stayed out for 50 minutes, and saw 10 meteors (in South Carolina; not particularly dark skies) Maybe one day we'll get a meteor storm.
It teased me. Went outside about 12:45 and saw 4 real quick, got super excited and then nothing. Hung out about hour and saw one more.
West Texas, maybe 15-20 in the last hour and a half. Most seen between Arcturus and the handle of the big dipper. Seen only one that had a fantastic tail on it
That's a pretty good number for the show being a bust.
I'm getting ready to head out and setup my equipment to view and image some meteors tonight! Follow me on Instagram: @latenightastronomy to see if I was able to catch any! Best of luck to everyone and here's to hoping the meteor storm puts on a great show!
Update: I just got back in around 1:20 AM and sadly have nothing to report. Just a couple shooting stars but no "meteor storm"! Thanks for all of your reports and questions from around the world! Clear skies everyone!
My kids and I waited and waited buy we figured we missed it? I went to your Instagram and didn't see anything yet... Did anything big happen?
@@realitywave that sounds beautiful... All of it. 💜 My favorite part though was the
"honeysuckle purfumed night". Where I am, we have the sweet smell of alfalfa that fills the air.
Ha ha ha no meteors
Is there anything tonight?
@@angelcraig9912 I don't think so.
Great to hear! I seriously hope we get the event. I have my telescope and camera ready for this!
I’ve got my eyes and camera ready to go as well!
Just happened to look up at the right time, going inside and going to comeback out in an hour
Seeing anything?
Keep it ready for tomorrow night.
@@LateNightAstronomy i saw one before the stars were visible.
I live in the San Luis Valley, CO. @8,000ft elevation. Its very dark sky here, and usually clear. I will go out to look! I hope it happens!
Those are some great conditions to see it!
I have seen 9shooting stars so far I am in The San Luis valley Also ,Love to watch the shooting Stars ,Cathy From La Jara Co, 🌟🌠✨🎆🎇⭐
Oh, you're lucky! It was cloudy up here in Crestone.
I can't wait I love watching all the meteor showers.. I would love to see the one big one of a life time storm.. :)
I saw one once several years ago. It is definitely a treat and worth the effort to try and see it. In stead of the usual meteor every 1 to 5 minutes, were talking about a continuous stream of meteors sometimes 3 and 4 as a time or potentially hundreds per minute
If it happens. This will be my first meteor storm as well! Let me know what you think of it!
HERE is The Savior
YaH The Heavenly FATHER HIMSELF was Who they Crucified for our sins, NOT jesus, and “HERE IS THE PROOF”
From the Ancient Semitic Scroll:
"Yad He Vav He" is what Moses wrote, when Moses asked YaH His Name (Exodus 3)
Ancient Semitic Direct Translation
Yad - "Behold The Hand"
He - "Behold the Breath"
Vav - "Behold The NAIL"
@@Praise___YaH why would “the one true god” be so hard to decipher? He should be a little more clear than that
@@ryanfinnamore1309
YaH’s Kingdom of Heaven is NOT for this “WORLD”, that is why YaH spoke in Parables. This “WORLD” “thinks” “they” choose, no they don’t, YaH The Heavenly Father is Who chooses and IF you understood what I shared, then YaH chose you, IF you do not, then YaH did not and YES, that’s exactly how Salvation works
Thank you for the video. Rural Indiana here kinda between Indy and Chicago. I saw maybe 10 or so between 1245-120am. Very cool indeed. Have a good night
Very cool! You saw more than me. I only caught 2 over about 20 minutes.
I saw ten as well
Saw 3 nearly the same time. That was it in eastern NC.
Awsome.
Thanks for the reminder! I will be watching!!
Best of luck to you and your family!
It's 11:09 pm. Monday. Have been seeing a meteor every 2-3 minutes so far...
That is a good sign of things to come!
What state are you West side?
I've been looking everywhere online for, where in the sky to look. You'd think all these news stories would have the common sense to include that. Nope, so thank you for the easy to understand answer to that question. You earned this like and subscriber! =D
I really appreciate that! If it's going to happen we are just about 25 minutes out.
@@LateNightAstronomy I have HIGH hopes💖💫
I'm in East Texas and it's 11;51 and I've already seen four in less than 30 minutes time
That's a good amount but sadly not the "storm" we were hoping for.
Thank you! We will be watching from Lake City, Colorado!
Glad to hear it. Stop back by and let me know if you were able to see anything!
@@LateNightAstronomy Will do!
I’m getting ready to watch!!
Best of luck to you. Let's hope it puts on a good show.
In East Texas, dark enough to see 5th magnitude saw only 2 shower meteors and 1 sporadic between 11:40 and 12:30.
Years ago, comet kahoutec was a dud as well. Hale Bop was better, at least had a small tail.
Great report. I had a similar experience on the east coast.
Disappointed the storm will be happening so late, but I'll still be taking my kiddos to the high desert in the early evening for a few hours and try to catch a glimpse of one or two!
Good luck and let me know if you are able to see anything!
Thank you so much for the in depth info on exactly where we need to be looking in the eastern sky! 👍🏼♥️
I'm glad you enjoyed the video!!!
Hey did this take place?
I went out at around 12:45, stayed until about 1:15. I saw one meteor out of the corner of my eye heading toward Leo Minor.
I had my camera and wireless remote shutter so I set my camera to take 2 second exposures, then positioned it and got it focused with Arcturus, and laid down to watch the sky. I'd click the shutter every now and again, 32 photos.
When I got in, I was trying to move the photos with an old DOS command (I didn't want to move everything, or individually select 32 jpg files) ... and wound up wiping everything from the camera, and the main folder that I thought I was sending the photos into. My only consolation is that I doubt that my camera caught anything.
Still - worth it.
We had a very similar set up going for our pictures. I was shooting 8 second exposures and didn't catch a thing. Sorry for your misfortune, but as you said, I doubt anything went missing.
@@LateNightAstronomy For what it's worth, I still say it was worth it. As you said in the video, I got a bit of stargazing in. It was really nice outside so I enjoyed it. Maybe a reason to invest in thicker beach blanket, too.
just got home saw about 1 a minute where i was at pretty good... beautiful and peaceful
Good to hear! That was more than at my place!
I live in the UK and supposed to be in the southwest from 04.45 to 05.15 at its peak.
THanks for the info for your area! Best of luck
Saw 13 total from NC. Conditions couldn't have been better. 0% cloud cover and 0 moonlight. Hardly a storm but saw more meteors than i usually do on the average yearly showers.
That's a good number. I only saw 2 in 20 minutes at my place.
@@LateNightAstronomy huh. I also saw 2 meteors at once going in the same direction which I've never seen before.
@@Dan-ji4db Yeah, we saw that, too (in SC)
Cool what storm!?! OMG! COOL.
Thanks for the reminder! Certainly going to give a look.
Of course. Here's hoping we get a great show tonight!
Sounds Good.
The time window is 12:45 to 1:17 edt or 9:45 to 10:17 pdt. My camera is ready!
My camera is ready too. This will be the first meteor shower I am going to attempt to image.
Nothing spectacular yet.
Phoenix AZ
Can't wait. Thanks for the info
You bet! This would be my first meteor storm if it occurs!
Thank you so much i home school my niece's and this has helped me explain to them what and why this will be important! and awesome!
That is so wonderful to hear! I'm glad you found my video helpful and keep up the great work home schooling your niece!
Saw about a Dozen from Memphis Tennessee
Very nice. I only saw 2
Hoping 🤞🤞🤞…northeast here, will let you know.
We just need the clouds to stay away and the meteors to show up!
Doesn’t look good socked in with clouds🤦♂️🤦♂️
@@roberthennessey5702 Oh no. I'm sorry to hear that!
Saw a nice bright one here in Florida about 20 minutes ago. Very pretty.
Very cool
11:45 to 1 am. Nothing. Big Spring Texas USA.
About the same for me on the East coast.
Do Not watch it or THE TRIFFIDS will get you !! See movie or read book DAY OF THE TRIFFIDS by John Wyndham
Seen a few here in Canada about an hr from Toronto between 1-15. One was very spectacular almost seemed as if it had colors, the rest where like white
Very cool!
Thanks, Wesley.
Great I can't wait
Turns out, the meteor storm missed us
Man I wish I watched your video before lol I was looking in the wrong direction 😂 I did see a lot of meteors and a bright cluster but if I was looking west I probably would have seen more lol
The show ended up being a bust so you probably wouldn't have caught many more!
I will be watching from Northeastern NC.
Best of luck to you in NC and let me know if you are able to spot anything tonight!
I live in Tennessee and around 1:10am I seen three streaks across the sky and I was facing kinda south west
Awesome. I'm glad you were able to see a few.
We live an hour from the closest street light, but only 2480’ but on a mountain top
I bet the sky is beautiful!
Watching from Southern Oregon. It’s 1:18 Eastern time. 10:18 Pacific. Sad to report no shower 💫
Thanks for your report! Same situation for me on the East Coast.
@@LateNightAstronomy I was hoping it would be like the The Leonid meteor storm that was seen across the United States the night and early morning of November 12th and 13th, 1833. Those who were awake to witness the storm were in awe as between 50,000 and 150,000 meteors fell each hour. 💫 That would have been amazing 🤩
@@4Score747 I know, right? That would be SO AWESOME. I figured that wouldn't happen with this, but I sure went outside and sat in a chair in the middle of the street for almost an hour, because there was no way I was going to miss it if it were happening. Maybe we'll get a storm one day.
I caught a few ghostly ones and a small bright purple one on camera.
Very nice. No pictures for me this time. Only saw 2 in about 20 minutes.
Fantastic info thank you. Subscribed
Thanks for the sub!
saw something like this . back in 2000 to 2002
Same here. I think that was a good year for the Persieds if I remember correctly!
Farmington Michigan outside looking East @ 12:15 witness a meteor going from west to east long trail lasted about 2 seconds
Nice sight.
10pm PHX
I just saw 1 meteorite... If I don't see any others, I am good
This is the attitude we should all have tonight!
I hope we get lucky! 🍀
Me too! So far the clouds are looking good at my place too!
Will I get to see it here in Orlando, Florida?
Yes, should be very similar to what I will be seeing and what the video shows. Try to get away from light pollution as best as you can.
God damn it why wasn't this more advertised and made known this pisses me off that I missed this it's the 1st and I'm just now hearing about this
Thankfully you didn't miss much. It had the potential to be a big storm but ended up being more of a dud.
Man, that was a nothing burger! But thanks for the information
Yes it was!
Can't wait! Can you see it without a telescope?
Yes, i’m fact it is best without a telescope. Look up to see as much of the sky as you can
What time would it occur if I live in Texas ?
Check your local news but the times I use in the video are for EDT.
A great sign before Jesus comes again. You better give your life to him before the revelation comes truth.
Give my life to someone who we don’t know exist?! And the Bible could have been writin by anyone for control over ppl
Every time you guys say Jesus is returning you're wrong. In fact you guys have never been right. Give it a rest.
jesus? HERE is The Savior

@@kurtreed7022 not to mention the bible says that no human will know when that is going to happen. The point being to concentrate on living right instead of spending all your time and effort preoccupied with the return of Jesus.
Didn't happen although I did see a few nice meteors over the 2 hrs. I spent outside.
I'm glad you made the attempt and were able to see a few.
How to I do see it if I'm in Tampa Florida ?
Should be very similar to where I live and what is stated in the video. Getting away from light pollution will be the key for the fainter meteors if it occurs!
....at 11pm wst I saw a killer Tau. Slow-moving and white, it went about 1/3 of the way across the sky in a westward direction.............and a couple of minor ones too.........
Excellent observation.
Could these fragments make landfall?
No, there were some old stories about that from years ago but there should be no danger from this meteor storm tonight.
It's not happening tonight. Maybe tomorrow. I guess I'll have to get up early. Or I already missed it by 2 hours and it was still daylight.
It ended up being a bust. You didn't miss much!
I go outside last night and it is raining then i went inside...scrolling youtube
You didn't miss much. The Meteor Storm was a bust.
i kept going out to check... not even one. Toronto Ontario Canada.
Same here. I only saw two.
NJ on the shore no luck here
Same for me!
All set up as already. Just stargazing right now. I live in Amarillo, Texas so I’m guessing it shouldn’t be until about 12 or so. It’s a beautiful clear night where I’m at. So I’m hoping to see it.
So glad to hear that! Enjoy the stars above until the meteor storm hits.
I'm in dallas so what time you think it will happen in my area
@@tangoblast4751 Should be the same. Double check with local news.
@@LateNightAstronomy ok
Not one sighting from Kent Washington after two hours of observation while grilling hot dogs and hamburgers untill just after midnight.
That sounds like a good night out!
I was ready to see the event. Got early and watched the sky for about 15 minutes about 1hr ago. Didn't see anything.
The exact same thing happen with me.
Can u upload tomorrow or soon and tag me in it saying if it did good or not so I’ll know if I missed out
You didn't miss a thing. It ended up being a bust.
If nothing happens it'll still be historical.......I'll have experienced my first case of "The Monday's" on a Tuesday :D
Haha. I like that! Best of luck with your observing...if it happens!
I have not seen anything.
I spotted Arcturus starting at 9 PM PDT and now it is 11:07 PM and I have not seen any meteor.
The sky is somewhat haze but I can see Vega on the east, Arcturus overhead, Denebola on the west.
Maybe I don't see the meteor shower because there is some moisture in the air.
The storm ended up being a bust. You spotted some nice stars though.
Happening now 🎇
Very soon. The peak is at 1:00 AM EDT.
Gosh I would like to see this. Unfortunately in Spokane WA. I just heard thunder and we haven't had a real clear night in at least a week. Well Perhaps /Maybe it will be different tonight and thousands will appear. Not asking too much am I?
Here's hoping you get a break in the clouds.
I'm in the Pocono mts. 🤞
Best of luck seeing it!
Cool name
I couldn't agree more!!!
I know it’s two hours until the main event but shouldn’t we see something I mean it’s supposed to peak at midnight not start at midnight
If it his just right the "storm" will occur around 1:00 AM EDT. Other than that you probably wouldn't see any more meteors than any other night.
just like kimi no na wa 君の名は movie
I have never seen one☹️ hopefully it happens from Long Island, New York
Yes, you will have a good view from there! Try to get to as dark of a sky as possible to see it if it happens!
will there be a shower at Ontario Canada?
It ended up being a bust.

One was white and one was blue I saw two
2.5 hours partly cloudy not 1 shooting star seen in Houston tx
It ended up being a bust. Thanks for your report though.
i goto work at 3am. live in Arizona .. i have a good chance!?.
Check your local news for the best times in Arizona but I would definitely take some time to look up either way
Saw 9 within about 15-20 minutes- before peak- and I wasn’t even looking in the right place. The best one was at 11:03.
That's a good sign. Thanks for sharing.
So I went back out at 1:00AM. Looked in the right direction this time (and also checked North where I saw the nice one earlier). I only saw one in about 10-15 minutes. It was very faint. Maybe the peak was earlier than expected? Anyway, it was still a nice night to look at the stars.
Did it happen?
Sadly, it did not!
Is it too late? Can I still see or no?
It was a bust. Not many more meteors than a normal night out.
Saw 2 so far this evening, not looking good yet.
That's not bad so far. The peak is in roughly an hour...if it happens.
@@LateNightAstronomy I saw 2 more after that in about 30 minutes. I have speculated I might be on the wrong planet.
None in NC
None for me either.
All I need is a set of binoculars
Binoculars are great but this is best without any equipment. All you need are your eyes!
Sounds like revelation 12
Yeah it does!
Michigan ?
Should be some nice views there! Check your local news for specific times.
central WV??
You should have some great views there. Time should be the same as my video as well.
Scene 2
That's how many I saw as well.
I missed it 😢
It ended up being a bust so you didn't miss much!!!
Thx that makes me feel a bit better
I saw 2 so far
That was my number tonight too!
Satan is cast on earth and his tail takes a third of the stars. Jesus is coming soon. Accept him as lord and savior in your life. What you do with this information will determine your eternal destiny.

Let's hope for a good show tonight!
Midnight Atlantic here it's cloudy 😐 but thanks anyways
Sorry about that. The clouds always have a way of getting in the way.
@@LateNightAstronomy well at least I found a live feed lol, saw a few dozen 👍
Can I see it in Southern California
Yes, double check your local news but it should be visible around 10:00 PM PDT from where you live.
@@LateNightAstronomy I love you
IF is the biggest two-letter word in the dictionary
Haha, yes it is!
I'm from India 😞 and it wasn't visible last night from my location. But it's my dream to watch them 😔 I'm really very upset. why only north American can enjoy this view, but not others, ahhhh...😤
I agree. Hopefully the next one will be over your way!
Are you in the central time zone?
I'm in EDT.
@@LateNightAstronomy so I'm guessing because I'm in Houston Texas I should go out about midnight
@@kimchambers5903 Yes, I believe so but check your local news to double check.
See in India?
That's a good question and I'm not exactly sure. Check your local news/weather stations to see if they are predicting in for where you live!
