How long will the meteor shower tonight last for?

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

There's a major shower coming up on the morning of April 22.  It's known as the Perseid meteor shower, and it'll be peaking on the morning of the 22nd.

The Leonid meteor shower is predicted to peak at around 4:45-5UT on the 19th with a rate of about 100 to 150 meteors per hour.  This translates to about 10:45 to 11pm on the 18th in Kansas I think.  Unfortunately, the Leonid radiant (the point from which the Leonids appear to originate) is the constellation Leo -- which, in Kansas, does not rise until AFTER the peak.\n\nBut you will still be able to see some meteors after the radiant rises -- you just won't be able to witness the predicted maximum.  So if you have clear skies, go for it!

Because the earth orbits the sun in the same direction as its daily spin, we are on the "trailing" side of the globe before midnight. This means that meteoroids must "catch up" to us in order to burn up in our atmosphere, and will be slower (and so fainter) when they do. After midnight of course, the situation is reversed... The result is that you usually see many more meteors near dawn than near dusk!

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

A meteor shower is an increase in the number of meteors observed in a particular part of the sky. The trails of the meteors of a meteor shower all appear to be traceable back to a single point in the sky, known as the radiant point, or radiant. A shower is named for the constellation in which its radiant is located, e.g., the Lyrids appear to come from a point in Lyra, the Perseids from Perseus, and the Orionids from Orion.\nMeteor showers usually occur annually and with varying intensity. While the average counting rate of meteors for the entire sky is between 5 and 10 per hr, an observer may see twice this number in one part of the sky during a shower, depending on atmospheric conditions and the degree of darkness, and in the case of the Perseids, possibly more than 100 in an hour. The Leonids produce spectacular displays roughly every 33 years, as they did during the meteor storm of 1966 (with a peak of a thousand a minute) and the intense shower of 2001 (with a peak of several thousand an hour).\n\nMeteor showers are closely associated with comets. When a comet breaks up, a swarm of particles eventually becomes scattered out over its entire orbit. If this orbit intersects that of the earth, a meteor shower will be observed. The shower will be particularly intense in those years when the original comet would have been observed. The Andromedids are associated with Biela's comet, the Aquarids and Orionids are thought to be associated with Halley's comet, and the Leonids are associated with Comet Tempel-Tuttle. Some of the better-known meteor showers and their approximate dates are: Lyrids, Apr. 21; Perseids, Aug. 12; Orionids, Oct. 20; Taurids, Nov. 4; Leonids, Nov. 16; Geminids, Dec. 13.

A telescope won't really help much to view a meteor shower.  It's best to just find a spot as far away as possible from city lights, sit back, and watch the sky.  Because meteors aren't entirely predictable, the chances of one being caught in your telescope are very remote.  The meteor shower you're referring to is going to peak around 2 in the morning on April 22nd, a Saturday.  The meteors can come from any part of the sky, so just take a blanket, something warm to drink, a few friends, maybe, relax.  It'll be a good time, I assure you.

We'll be watching at my school if it's not cloudy (the weather doesn't look good for the northeast US).  We don't have anything fancy, just an 8" Schmidt-Cass with a solar filter.  If we do get clouded/rained out, then we'll be watching a webcast, projected on the planetarium dome.

Any place with a clear dark sky. The meteors will be visible from pretty much anywhere on Earth, except maybe near the south pole. Look after midnight though, since all the meteors will be hitting the dawn side of the Earth.

Usually the superbowl lasts about 4 hours...

I once heard something about a meteor or comet. Don't believe any dates about the end of the world. Jesus said Himself that "no man knows the day nor the hour" when He will return. So don't worry 'bout it.

Yes. The maximum is November 17, but this year there is a predicted second peak activity November 19. These meteors can be seen from anywhere on Earth but you need to look after the constellation of Leo has risen, which means after midnight or so. Before that, most if not all the meteors will be over the horizon and not visible. The higher in the sky Leo gets, the more meteors you should see, so the best time is just before morning twilight starts, say about 5:00AM Saturday morning, November 18.
