Pagasa: 'Leonids' to light up skies for 2 days
Philstar.com – Tuesday, November 17
MANILA, Philippines – A “prolific” meteor shower is expected to light up the skies of Asia and Europe for two days – tomorrow night (Nov. 17) and Wednesday (Nov. 18), the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) said.
Here in the Philippines, Pagasa administrator Prisco Nilo said Filipinos will get a glimpse of the meteorological phenomenon, known as the “Leonids” meteor shower, between 11 p.m. and 6 a.m. of the following day.
“We have a very good chance that we'll see meteor showers,” Nilo said.
He, however, stressed that people in the Visayas and Mindanao will have a difficult time seeing the meteor showers because of the intertropical convergence zone, which is expected to bring scattered rain showers this week.
