Strong Leonid Meteor Shower Expected Nov. 17

Check out this report from Space.com which lists November 17th as a possible date of a Strong Leonid Meteor shower which would be strongly visible across across most of central and eastern Asia. The Leonid radiant is within the so-called "Sickle" of Leo; a backwards question-mark pattern of stars that outlines the head and mane of the constellation Leo, the Lion.  Hence the meteors are known as "Leonids." check out more about this astronomical event here
