Is there going to be a meteor shower today 2012?

Answer 1

Check out Spaceweather.com for advance notice of meteor showers. Currently the Quadrantid meteor shower is underway. The Quadrantids are not the easiest shower to observe, because it is best observed after midnight when it is very cold and the weather is often bad.

Look toward Polaris, after midnight.

Answer 2

All meteor showers are best observed between midnight and dawn, local time. The Leonid shower occurs annually around November 16-17, but you can usually see some meteors a couple of days earlier or later.

Precise calculation of the exact time of a meteor shower is not yet possible, but with each year's additional experience, our estimates become more and more accurate.

Answer 3

yes, they often actually come under the clouds, some of which then explode into bright colours :)

Comment : I'm not sure that's a very serious answer. You can't see meteors

if there are no gaps in the clouds.

On the 12 of August every year the Perseid meteor shower is around its peak, so in 2012 and any year, if it is clear, you will see a meteor shower.

Answer 5

Normally, no; the average "shooting star" meteor, with its lovely bright trail through the night sky, is unnoticeable against the blue of the daytime sky.

But there are exceptions. If the meteor is big enough, it will be bright enough to be clearly seen in the daytime.

Answer 6

You can see meteors on any clear night.

There are several occasions throughout the year when there are meteor 'showers'.

As you do not give a date we do not know when 'tonight' is.

See the link below for a list of some dates for meteor showers.

Answer 7

From midnight until dawn, local time, anywhere in the world. Of course, it depends on the weather; you won't see anything interesting through the clouds.

Answer 8

There are several meteor showers every year.

Answer 9

Today (New Year's Day) . . . No.

In 2012 . . . Yes. Several.

Answer 10

On the 12 of August every year the Perseid meteor shower is around its peak, so in 2012 and any year, if it is clear, you will see a meteor shower.
