when can the next meteor shower be seen in new york?
138456
There are 10 significant meteorshowers every year. The next one this year is called the Lyrids and peaks around april 22. It generates a typcial rate of 15 meteors per hour. Wether they are very visible in New York City due to ligth pollution I cant really say.

it should start around 6:45-7:45 am for iraq...and the peak lasts 2 hours...so idk if you will get to see it or not...but prob not because they said the best views for the leonids tonight were the east coast of the US and western europe

the meteors last all night starting around 11pm and endin at about 6am...but the peak of the meteor showers is what you want to see with the leonids...the peak starts around 11:45pm-midnight and last 2 hours...find a good spot, supposed to be a great show with hundreds of meteors if you catch it in a good enough spot

The Lyrid shower is due on April 22.  The best viewing is between about 2 a.m. and 5 a.m. local time by looking generally to the North.  The Lyrids usually generate a moderate shower (about 5 to 20 per hour) but on rate occasions have generated as many as 90 per hour.\n\nThe best chance each year to see a meteor shower occurs around June 8 when the Arietids happen.  The best time to see the Arietids are just before dawn.  Look east about 45 minutes before sunrise.\n\nIn all cases, it is best to be in an area away from city lights.

I think the next one will be on July 28, called Delta Aquarid (these are called after the constellations from which they appear to emanate). But the better, more loaded ones are the Perseids on August 13 and Geminids on December 14 - my personal favourites :) And of course, they come about the same time every year, you simply have to check astronomy sites for the peak - when to see the most of the meteors.\n\nDon't worry, they don't cause destruction, except for the fragmentation of these rocky fragments and their burning as they enter the earth's atmosphere. Perhaps you are more familiar with the term "shooting star" - well, a meteor shower is just many of those together, that's why it's called a "shower". Check out the link I wrote as source to understand the jargon better.\n\nIf you're thinking about doomsday meteors or asteroids like the ones in Deep Impact and Independence Day, those are totally different - they're not "showers" but single large impacts... I could only answer the first part of your question ;)

Hi. The Leonids will rise in the East and be faint this year. Central park's west side might be your best shot. Make sure to bring some friends!

You don't have to worry. The meteor that is sure to hit us will be in 2880.

The leonids peak around 10.45 pm on 18th November in your area. However, the radiant of the leonids will rise later. So you can try observing after midnight. Sit facing east. You will soon be rewarded with a few meteors. The expected ZHR is 100 but by the time they reach your area, it could be lesser. You will be lucky enough with a ZHR of 30 meteors.\n\nThe frequency will increase around daybreak.\n\nWish you all the best.

The leonids peak 04:35 and 05:00 UT on 19th November, so I guess it should be around 2035 (8:35pm) and 21:00 (9.00pm)Pacific Standard Time on 18th November.\n\nBut thats not important. All you have to do is to start your observation, from a clear dark sky, around or after midnight and try to keep a watch the skies in the eastern direction. You will be rewarded with meteors. The frequency will increase as day break approaches.\n\nBest wishes

Everyone who said December 21 is wrong.\n\nSunset for NY NY is 4:28 for December 3 through 12.  Before and after, it is later by at least one minute.  Somebody might know where to get it for the exact second, but I don't know where to access that data.  But obviously, it would be some day between the 3rd and 12th.\n\nUse the link below, and click on "Data Services":

Unfortunately, just Saturn.  (See source.)  Venus, Mars, and Jupiter are too closely in line with the Sun this month.  \n\nHowever, Mercury should be visible in the pre-dawn, later this month.\n\nWe just missed the very rare transit of the sun by Mercury on Nov. 8th (I'm kicking myself ... I saw the Venus transit a few years ago through a telescope, and it was wonderful).\n\nAnd don't miss the Leonid meteor shower on Nov. 17.  Unfortunately for me, this year the Leonids peak in the middle of the day in the U.S., but I imagine our European friends would get a good view.
