![]() ![]() Deep Sky Objects to Look for in November 2022 This year, the Leonids shower is best seen after midnight from a dark site, but as with many other showers, Leonids meteors can appear from any point in the sky. The second quarter moon,however, will extinguish many, if not most faint meteors, but since the Leonids is unpredictable in terms of the number of meteors it produces, there may be a higher than expected number of meteors during the peak, as has often happened before. – The Leonids Meteor Shower will, as always, peak on the night of November 17 th and will produce about 15 or so meteors per hour during the peak period. This could make it difficult to distinguish between Taurids meteors and the normal background meteor activity given that Taurids meteors can appear from any point in the sky. While this shower typically produces only 5 to 10 meteors per hour during the peak period, this year, the nearly Full Moon will extinguish all but the brightest meteors. – The Taurids Meteor Shower usually runs from about September 7 th to about December 10 th, with the peak expected to occur just before midnight on November 4 th. The planet will set progressively earlier as the month wears on until by month’s end, Saturn will set at around 22:41 (EDT).Īlthough November 2022 will see two meteor showers, neither shower will be particularly spectacular or prolific. However, the planet will rise only marginally to an elevation of 47 degrees, before setting in the southwest at about 30 minutes after midnight. As viewed from about latitude 25 0N, the planet becomes visible above the southern horizon at an elevation of 45 degrees at about 19:06 (EDT).
