Dazzling meteor shower comes Vietnam’s way

PDFPrintE-mail

Vietnam will see one of the best meteor showers in years on Tuesday and Wednesday, according to Nguyen Duc Phuong from the Vietnam Association of Astronomy and Space.

The Leonid shower may produce up to 500 meteors per hour around the constellation of Leo starting at 3 a.m. on Tuesday, says Phuong, who suggests standing in a dark, open place to observe the dazzling display with the naked eye.

According to NASA, North America and countries across Asia including Japan, India, China and Indonesia will also witness the celestial event.

Leonids are bits of debris from Comet Tempel-Tuttle, which visits the inner solar system every 33 years and leaves a stream of dusty debris in its wake, the US space agency says on its website.

Many of these streams have drifted across the November portion of Earth’s orbit and, whenever we hit one, meteors come flying out of Leo.
