November 18, 2007, any time it is dark, but especially around midnight, until the moon rises around 3:45am.  Cloud cover of 30-35% is predicted, so that's definitely a limiting factor.  Take advantage of any clear dark night, since the Leonids shower is spread over about 2 weeks.  It can be spectacular.\n\nLook toward the east for the constellation Leo.  Then, just watch where the action is.\n\nSee the second reference for apparently new information about this unusually high expected peak.

Meteor showers can be disappointing if your skies are cloudy or if you live in the wrong location. This weekend's Leonid meteor shower, for example, will be best viewed from parts of Europe and eastern North America.\n\nSkywatchers elsewhere, including western North America, should see a typical rendition of the annual show—a few meteors per hour—but will miss the peak flurry, expected to start around 11:45 p.m. ET and last a couple hours.\nhttp://www.space.com/spacewatch/061116_leonids_listen.html\n---------------\nHow can I best view a meteor shower?\n\nIf you live near a brightly lit city, drive away from the glow of city lights and toward the constellation from which the meteors will appear to radiate. \nFor example, drive north to view the Leonids. Driving south may lead you to darker skies, but the glow will dominate the northern horizon, where Leo rises. Perseid meteors will appear to "rain" into the atmosphere from the constellation Perseus, which rises in the northeast around 11 p.m. in mid-August. \nAfter you've escaped the city glow, find a dark, secluded spot where oncoming car headlights will not periodically ruin your sensitive night vision. Look for state or city parks or other safe, dark sites. \nOnce you have settled at your observing spot, lay back or position yourself so the horizon appears at the edge of your peripheral vision, with the stars and sky filling your field of view. Meteors will instantly grab your attention as they streak by.\nhttp://stardate.org/nightsky/meteors/

Always after work.  Wednesday and Sunday evenings are generally best.  Around 6 or 7pm on the West Coast (that way all the 9-5ers across the country are home from work).

It should be visible from California at about 5:00am. Look for it near the constellation Leo.

this week, if you look east at about 9:30pm local time, you will see Jupiter just above the horizon.  At about 1am, it will be high in the sky to the south.  just before sunrise, it will be just about to set in the west.\n\nsubtract two hours from each of these times for these positions for every month you add to right now.\n\noh, wait.  a picture.  you don't actually want to find it in the sky.  go to http://www.nineplanets.org and click on "Jupiter".

The next solar eclipse in California, will be on May 20, 2012. The Sun in Los Angeles will be 85% covered by the Moon. The next one after that is another partial eclipse of 45% in L.A. on Oct 23, 2014. There will be a Total Solar Eclipse on Aug. 21, 2017, but it's path travels from the Pacific ocean, over Salem OR.,Casper WY., Lincoln NE., just missing Nashville TN.,and then goes over Columbia and Charleston SC., and then out over the Atlantic.\n\nThe maximum time that the Sun will be covered by the Moon is 2 minutes and 40 seconds over Western Kentucky.\n\nSorry, the next total solar eclipse in California (Northern California) is on Aug 12, 2045.  Boo Hoo!!!

Well, in a very general sense, it's best to view stars and *some* planets between 10pm and midnight.  You'd have to look up the positions of each planet (or the major ones, anyway) to figure out when all of them are in sight.

There are several things. Right now comet Pojmanski is visible in the morning sky. Also Mercury is visble. In a month the Lyrid metershower will peak. Events like these are constantly posted on www.spaceweather.com

Yes the famous Leonid Meteor Shower is due tonight.\nCheck out this article to see if you can see it and when.\nhttp://www.space.com/spacewatch/061117_leonid_guide.html

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.

If you want the time and date, it's 8:26 AM EDT June 21st and 7:22 PM EST December 21st this year. (Sky & Telescope magazine Almanac 2006)\n\nIf you want to see what they are, put a globe on your table and stand where the North Pole is leaning toward you.  If you (the Sun) look at the globe from the level of the Earth's center, you'll see that the Sun is at its northernmost latitude - The Tropic of Cancer.  That's the summer solstice.  Six months later - on the side where the South Pole points toward you, the Sun is overhead at its most southern latitude - The Tropic of Capricorn.  That's the winter solstice.\n\nIt seems odd, but because of the ellipticity of its orbit the Earth is actually closer to the sun in the Northern winter than it is in the summer - by about 3-4 million miles.  As you can see from the exercise above, though, from the Northern Hemisphere viewpoint the sunlight is very slanted in the winter and more directly overhead in the summer.

Some people gave you good links in their answers, so you can find when the most spectacular showers can be seen.\n\nBut if you are patient, you can see meteors at ANY time of the year. Just lie down on the ground (its easier to stare at the sky like this), and wait ... I'm sure you won't have to wait longer than 20-40 minutes to see one.\n\nYour geographical location has no importance, but you can see more meteors before dawn then in the evening. Be sure to choose a location which is far away from any city lights (if you can see the Milky Way, its okay :-)

Mars and Saturn, Venus in the evening, and you're in for a real treat clouds permitting. Mercury was at it's greatest Western Elongation only last Sunday a whole 28 degrees West, so very visible in the morning, magnitude 0.41\nDon't forget the Lyrids meteor shower on the 22nd will you.
