Many desires To express everyone tonight! In the night between 2 and 3 March the peak of the Delta Leonidi, shooting stars Particularly in favor of the observation this time given the almost total absence of the moon, which reached the new phase yesterday 1 March.
The radiant, or the point from which it seems that the swarm starts, is located near the center of the constellation of the Lion from which they take the name. And this year it will be visible all nightvery high on the horizon.
As the UAI explains, these meteoralthough not very numerous with just 2-3 hourly apparitions, they stand out for their brightness and the occasional presence of spectacular “fire balls” that cross the constellation of the lion. Which, without the moon, may be even more likely to capture (on the map the Heaven of March 3, 2025 at about 0.30).
