Alpha Monocertoid meteor showe...Peter Jenniskens and EskoLyytinen were two astronomers who have delved into the mysteries of the night skies and after careful observation, deducted that there will be a meteor shower on wither the 21st or the 22nd of November, 2019 depending on your position on the globe. The alpha Monocertoid meteor shower will be a dazzling display of approximately 400 meteors illuminating the night sky. The countries that will be receiving the best views of the spectacle are both the Americas, Europe and the northwestern part of Africa and the central part of the shower will be somewhere around the constellation Orion.
“The exact time of the outburst has been calculated to 04:50 Universal Time, or 11:50 pm ET. And it will likely only last for a short time, with the peak of the outburst lasting for about 15 minutes and the entire shower clocking in at 40 minutes. The brightness of the moon isn't expected to interfere since it will be waning.The meteor shower comes from the dust trail of an unknown comet and the stream of meteoroids only intersects Earth's orbit sometimes, which is what makes this potential outburst so rare,” were the predictions by the two astronomers.
The last time such a vision was viewed from the surface of the earth was in 1995 where the hourly rate of appearance of the meteors was nearly 400. The best views can be in obtained in a place which has very little light pollution from the cities.
