An expert at the Royal Observatory of Edinburgh has released a ‘best in Edinburgh’ guide to the upcoming meteor shower visible from the Capital.
The Leonid Meteor Shower is set to peak between November 17-18 after midnight next week, and Edinburgh stargazers may be able to spot between 10-20 meteors per hour.
“The Leonids are a weird one, they aren’t very bright or prolific (only around 15 meteors per hour) but they are moving very fast, which produces big, long streaks over the sky.” said Ciaran Fairhurst, the public engagement officer for the Royal Observatory of Edinburgh.
