Inferior mirage flashes are oval and flat and occur close to sea level when the surface of the water is warmer than the air above it. [ Image Album: Strange & Shining: Gallery of Mysterious Night Lights] The meteors are caused by periodic Comet Tempel-Tuttle, which sweeps through the inner solar system every 33.3 years. Each time the comet passes closest to the sun it leaves a "river of rubble" in its wake; a dense trail of dusty debris. A meteor storm becomes possible only if Earth were to score a direct hit on a fresh dust trail ejected by the comet over the past couple of centuries.

They are expected to peak on Wednesday night, Dec. 13. Space.com will provide you with all the details as we get closer to that date.

But it's also, in the general vicinity of the comet where the heaviest concentrations of meteoroids are as well. In contrast, at the point in the comet's orbit where we will be passing by on Saturday morning, there's only a scattering of particles; bits of comet debris that crumbled off the comet's frozen nucleus perhaps a millennia or two ago.

So, the 2023 Leonids are expected to show lean activity this year. According to a highly regarded Russian expert in meteor shower predictions, Mikhail Maslov, forecasts indicate a "moderate" maximum, which he suggests will stay approximately at the same level (about 15 per hour) during the period from 0:00 to 12:00 UT on Nov. 18. This may be because your broadband connection isn't set up yet, or because there's an issue with your broadband. Wait a couple of minutes for your Hub to start. The light will stay blue for more than 20 seconds when it’s ready Subduct flashes are created when the sun appears to form an hourglass shape due to a phenomenon called atmospheric inversion, which occurs when a layer of warm air traps cool air and moisture close to the ground. In this rare circumstance, the upper section of the sun may appear green for up to 15 seconds. This table shows how long each stage of the start-up process should last.

The "lion's share" (no pun intended) of comet dust can be found just ahead and trailing behind Tempel-Tuttle. That comet last swept through the inner solar system in 1998. That's why spectacular meteor showers were seen in 1999, 2001 and 2002, with declining numbers thereafter. If you want to get an up-close look at the stars or planets during the new moon or any other time, our guides to the best telescopesand best binocularsare a great place to start. Green flash sightings frequently occur at the ocean, where more of the atmosphere is visible and the line of sight is virtually parallel to the horizon. Flat prairies and deserts also tend to have the appropriate conditions for a green flash sighting. Sometimes, conditions are so perfect that a rare double green flash can be observed. Polar explorer Adm. Richard Byrd and his crew claimed to have seen a "green sun" persist for 35 minutes while on an expedition to Antarctica in 1929, according to Young. Scientists now believe that there must have been some mirage effect present for the phenomenon to go on for that length of time.
