Stargazing: Leonids and Uranus at Opposition

Leonid meteor shower radiates from Leo in the Pittsburgh sky facing East.

This year, the Leonid meteor shower will reach its peak pre-dawn, Nov. 17. There will be only a sliver of a waning moon that night, and dark skies give greater opportunities to observe gleaming streaks blaze across the sky.
