Even winter has its shining moments ⭐
In November, a special meteor shower provides brilliant highlights in the night sky: the Leonids . They are among the most impressive shooting stars of the year and can – under good conditions – produce spectacular showers.
The Leonid meteor shower appears to originate from the constellation Leo , which rises in the east in the late evening. Its activity extends over several days in November, peaking in the middle of the month. The chances of spotting multiple shooting stars are particularly good in the second half of the night.
When and where is the best time to see the Leonid meteor shower?
Even in winter, the following applies to a successful night of watching shooting stars:
- As little light pollution as possible
- unobstructed view towards the northeast
- clear sky without clouds
The best times for viewing are usually after midnight , when the sky is particularly dark and Leo is higher in the sky. Away from cities, the shooting stars are much easier to see.
Winter stargazing camping – an adventure with warmth and coziness
Winter camping and shooting stars? A perfect combination for true outdoor enthusiasts! Why not combine this natural spectacle with a special experience?
Snuggled up warmly in your tent, a hot mug of mulled wine in your hand, crackling warmth nearby – and above you, the sparkling night sky. This is exactly what winter camping is perfect for.
A rocket stove provides pleasant warmth outdoors and is ideal for:
- to quickly start a fire
- to heat water or mulled wine
- to warm up after cold hours
This way, the night of shooting stars becomes not only visible, but also really cozy.
Winter shooting stars – a special experience
While summer is often hectic, winter brings peace and clarity. The cold air frequently provides a particularly good view of the starry sky – making every shooting star a quiet, magical moment.
Conclusion:
Shooting stars in November are a real highlight for anyone who loves nature, peace and quiet, and adventure. With the right preparation, winter camping becomes the perfect stage for luminous trails in the sky.
