'Everything You Need to Know About the Angel Number 777'

Yes, it's lucky.

By Jaliessa Sipress - Cosmopolitan.com - August 24, 2022

You’re in the back of an Uber and you can’t stop thinking about that promotion—Will you get it? Will they choose someone else? Did you say the right thing in the interview? In the midst of your racing thoughts, you look out the window just in time to see a black Mercedes with 777 on the license plate.

You’ve heard that repeating numbers mean something *spiritual* somewhere, and honestly, with the rush that just went through your body when you spotted the 777, right as you worried about that promotion, you wonder: What does it all mean?!

What are angel numbers?

Well, repeating numbers are angel numbers, a sequence of numbers that come with a message. Angel numbers are related to numerology, and they are significant signs and symbols from the universe offering advice on what’s going on in your life, and what could happen in your future. When you see another repeating number (like 1111), a palindromic number (like 1221), or a number with special significance to you (like your mom’s birthday), this could offer some direction to help you on your path. Especially if it’s caught at an important moment, trust that that 12:12 isn’t just a cool coincidence, it’s a sign.

Peak: Mount Nebo
Elevation: 11,928 ft (3,636 m)

Geography
Wasatch Range is located in Utah
Wasatch Range
States: Utah and Idaho
Parent range: Rocky Mountains

The Wasatch Range (WAH-satch) or Wasatch Mountains is a mountain range in the western United States that runs about 160 miles (260 km) from the Utah-Idaho border south to central Utah. It is the western edge of the greater Rocky Mountains, and the eastern edge of the Great Basin region. The northern extension of the Wasatch Range, the Bear River Mountains, extends just into Idaho, constituting all of the Wasatch Range in that state.

In the language of the native Ute people, Wasatch means "mountain pass" or "low pass over high range." According to William Bright, the mountains were named for a Shoshoni leader who was named with the Shoshoni term wasattsi, meaning "blue heron."

 The beautiful Yvonne De Carlo

 

************

 

Yvonne De Carlo

Margaret Yvonne Middleton (September 1, 1922 – January 8, 2007), known professionally as Yvonne De Carlo, was a Canadian-American actress, dancer and singer. She became a Hollywood film star in the 1940s and 50s, made several recordings, and later acted on television and stage.

Born in Vancouver, British Columbia, De Carlo was enrolled by her mother in a local dance school when she was three. By the early 1940s, she and her mother had moved to Los Angeles, where De Carlo participated in beauty contests and worked as a dancer in nightclubs. She began working in motion pictures in 1941, in short subjects. She sang "The Lamp of Memory" in a three-minute Soundies musical and in 1942 signed a three-year contract with Paramount Pictures, where she was given uncredited bit parts in important films. Her first lead was for independent producer E. B. Derr in the James Fenimore Cooper adventure Deerslayer in 1943.

She obtained her breakthrough role in Salome, Where She Danced (1945), a Universal Pictures release produced by Walter Wanger, who described her as "the most beautiful girl in the world." The film's publicity and success turned her into a star, and she signed a five-year contract with Universal. Universal starred her in its lavish Technicolor productions, such as Frontier Gal (1945), Song of Scheherazade (1947), and Slave Girl (1947). Cameramen voted her "Queen of Technicolor" three years in a row. Tired of being typecast as exotic women, she made her first serious dramatic performances in two film noirs, Brute Force (1947) and Criss Cross (1949).

The first American film star to visit Israel, De Carlo received further recognition as an actress for her leading performances in the British comedies Hotel Sahara (1951), The Captain's Paradise (1953), and Happy Ever After (1954). Her career reached its peak when eminent producer-director Cecil B. DeMille cast her as Moses' Midianite wife, Sephora, her most prominent film role, in his biblical epic The Ten Commandments (1956),[5] for which she won a Laurel Award for Topliner Supporting Actress.[6] Her success continued with other notable starring roles in Flame of the Islands (1956), Death of a Scoundrel (1956), Band of Angels (1957), and The Sword and the Cross (1958), in which she portrayed Mary Magdalene.

She starred in the CBS sitcom The Munsters (1964–1966),[7] playing Herman Munster's glamorous vampire wife, Lily, a role she reprised in the feature film Munster, Go Home! (1966) and the television film The Munsters' Revenge (1981). In 1971, she played Carlotta Campion and introduced the popular song "I'm Still Here" in the Broadway production of the Stephen Sondheim musical Follies. Yvonne, her best-selling autobiography, was published in 1987. A stroke survivor, De Carlo died of heart failure in 2007. She was awarded two stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for her contributions to motion pictures and television.

Great Red Spot

The Red Spot is a persistent high-pressure region in the atmosphere of Jupiter, producing an anticyclonic storm that is the largest in the Solar System. Located 22 degrees south of Jupiter's equator, it produces wind-speeds up to 432 km/h (268 mph). Observations from 1665 to 1713 are believed to be of the same storm; if this is correct, it has existed for at least 357 years. It was next observed in September 1831, with 60 recorded observations between then and 1878, when continuous observations began.

"Possibly the most iconic ending in movie history."
-- Tom McFarland

"I was 11 when I saw this movie and I've never forgotten the horror gasp from the audience of this ending. It's etched in my mind forever."
-- Steve Jorfi

"When I saw this as a youngster it really scared me. I was sad at the destroyed Statue of Liberty and after the movie my father told me about nuclear war. I lost some innocence watching this film."
-- Chris L.

"One of the best, most shocking scenes in the history of movie making."
-- Timotheus

"No other movie has ever had an ending this powerful and this shocking.  Still makes me gasp every time I see it."
-- Bryan Nelson

"Taylor falling to his knees in the sand as the Statue of Liberty watches from above has got to be one of the greatest shots in cinematic history"
-- O Benbenisti

"I remember watching the movie with my father in the theater when it came out.  I was in grammar school at the time.  Everyone who saw it previously kept their mouths SHUT.  The gasps from the audience were unbelievable at the conclusion.  NOBODY saw it coming!  ALL you had at the end was that iconic scene with the derelict Statue Of Liberty, fade to Black, then the credits rolled.  Absolutely NO music JUST the waves of the ocean crashing to the shore.  Iconic scene and one of the BEST movie endings EVER!"
-- Charles Kuckel

"One of the most iconic scene in the cinematography without a doubt."
-- Sergio Ramón Rodríguez Cajiga

"I was sixteen when I saw this at the theater.One of the best endings to a movie ever."
-- BOND0930

"There are so many combinations that make this scene so great. Heston yelling, camera movements and the sound of the ocean as it intensifies. The sound of the ocean is telling us that its alive and well and it will outlast man and machine through the test of time."

My YouTube response to the last comment above

I noticed that the "flame piece" on the statue was missing; the spark of human civilization was long gone. Also, the beautiful Captain Stewart was to have been the "New Eve." She was probably first in her class, first in everything, 170 IQ, etc. However, it ended up being the simple, innocent Nova ("the sun" representing "the new torch" "the new horizon") who became the "New Eve." As Taylor agonized on the sand on his knees, Nova was standing and holding the reins of the horse and looking up at the statue which she couldn't comprehend.... maybe symbolizing "lets move forward."

"No quarter" - A new escalation

No quarter flags have been adopted by some police and their supporters as s symbol of fighting crime. According to the "No quarter" Wikipedia page: "The phrase no quarter was generally used during military conflict to imply combatants would not be taken prisoner, but killed." The above image caught my eye before I even knew what it represented. Of course, it's a type of pirate-inspired flag. What could go wrong? It does go on to say: "According to some modern American dictionaries a person who is given no quarter is "not treated kindly" or 'treated in a very harsh way.'" I suppose the latter is the actual intent, although anyone looking it up will see the former first, and that could very well be after a violent incident.

International humanitarian law

"Under international humanitarian law, "it is especially forbidden ... to declare that no quarter will be given." This was established under Article 23 (d) of the 1907 Hague Convention IV - The Laws and Customs of War on Land.[10] Since a judgment on the law relating to war crimes and crimes against humanity at the Nuremberg Trials in October 1946, the 1907 Hague Convention, including the explicit prohibition to declare that no quarter will be given, are considered to be part of the customary laws of war and are binding on all parties in an international armed conflict."

An exoplanet exists in our closest star system!

Yes, that's it above! An Earth!! It's called "Proxima Centauri b," and it's in the Alpha Centauri binary star system. The actual star in which it orbits is called "Proxima Centauri.". Proxima Centauri b is officially a "potentially habitable planet" according to the weekly journal 'Nature'. It's 4.2 light years away, or 266,000 times the distance between the Earth and the Sun (92.96 million miles). Unfortunately, that means that the distance between the Earth and Proxima B is between 24 and 25 trillion miles. The only planetary body that is even close for human habitatin is Saturn's moon Titan, which has an average temperture of -290 F. In comparison, the average temperature of Antarctica -70 F.

Was the "Black Sun" actually the German shadow government of Fraternitas Saturni? - Part 1

 

Was the "Black Sun" actually the German shadow government of Fraternitas Saturni?

Above: The black sun mosaic in the Obergruppenführersaal, or General's Hall at Wewelsburg Castle, often dubbed "the Nazi Camelot" or "the real Castle Wolfenstein". Wewelsburg is a 17th century castle that was heavily remodelled by Heinrich Himmler during the Nazi era.

I believe that the Black Sun was quite likely a Saturnian symbol, and that includes other "black suns." The National Socialists came right out've the dark occult, including the Thule Society, and some believe that even the Thule Society itself was a Brotherhood of Saturn (Fraternitas Saturni) front group. It's a time honored method; create a group designed to merely act as an organizing principle... a springboard to a larger group(s) to attain power, while always conveniently leaving your own leaders or group out of the ensuing political melee. Bring in a front guy, and everyone (for or against) says "He's the guy!." hmmm.... no.... IT'S YOU!! The public falls for it every time. However, like is so often the case with dark occult groups, they placed a new exoteric symbol in the background; stating in the esoteric "Yes, it is really us." Saturn was the Black Sun!

Certain Odinists love the Black Sun symbol, and associate it with their tradition. There's some grain of truth to that, as some of the symbolism went back to Teutonic sky gods, lightening, life symbols, death symbols, etc. While not specifically part of the Odinic pantheon, the exoteric National Socialists (esoteric Brotherhood of Saturn) actually were promoting a revival of the traditions of the Teutonic people when they lived in the vast territory north the the Himalayas thousands of years ago; a Saturnian tradition! There were swastikas, triskelions, and other symbols of National Socialism found up there in places like Tibet. Arkaim was a highly complex ancient city which was absolutely leveled at some point. There's evidence of certain areas which were destroyed by nuclear-like explosions. That most Germans were probably more Proto-European in ancestry than Teutonic, didn't deter them. They felt certain that they could return themselves to that essence from deep back into the ancient world.

I often post videos even if I'm not in total agreement with the message. However, the recent video below--although I watched and considered it--is simply taken from elements of the mainstream cover story. As Saturn fizzled out thousands of years ago and became a dwarf star, it then became "the black sun." I think that is the first level of the actual answer, and it goes much deeper.

The Black Sun Historical Truth

 

 

************************* 

 

 

The official seal of the Jesuit Order

The Jesuits started in the sixteenth century, but these Saturnian secret societies go back much further. Over the course of history, these secret societies dissolve themselves and come back under a different name with a whole new look. Just as when the Templars went on the run from persecution, and went up and hid out in Scotland. They dissolved themselves, and came back as the Scottish Rite of Freemasonry. Catholicism uses Sun symbolism in the exoteric, and Saturnian symbolism as the esoteric.

 

 

************************* 

 

 

Black Sun club

At top, the official symbol of the Brotherhood of Saturn. In middle, the official symbol of the Jesuit Order. Below, the Black Sun. Since the actual relationship between the Jesuits and the Nazis has been scrubbed and cleverly rewritten, facts are hard to come by. Somehow National Socialist Germany went from being on their knees to having the most powerful army in the world in a mere blip of history. How? Where did the money come from? The Vatican is a bank; almost unrivaled in terms of wealth.

 

*************************

Saturn: Our Northern Sun

Saturn when it was a star, during "The Golden Age," was to have been visible in the northern sky. It is said to have emitted a purplish light. I suppose that someone could intellectually say that they were "Black Sun," but that would tend to disclude the Odinist pantheon as the two are different. It probably should be stated again, as I've covered a lot of this prior, that the vast territories north of the Himalayas was temperate when the North Pole was approximately where the Great Lakes are located today. The Great Lakes were formed from the mile or more high mountains of ice! However, after the pole shift, the land of the Teutons became more and more inhospitable. They migrated west and intermingled with the Proto-Europeans which created the Celtic cultures, and they migrated south and intermingled with the pure Mediterraneans of that time period which created the Aryan civilization. Lastly, a whole massive number migrated into Europe and created the Germanic cultures. Saturn was gone; new traditions were formed.

*************************

 

The Color Purple

I can't see where National Socialist Germany ever used purple symbolism. They used black and grey for uniforms, and the common German colors of black, white, and red. I would think they would have mixed in a bit of purple somewhere. Maybe that's not for exoteric groups? However the Brotherhood of Saturn apparently was known for using purple, which is not at all surprising. Black and purple are the common Saturnian colors. Of course, the Jesuits aren't the least bit shy about Saturnian symbolism; see image to the left, taken from a Jesuit website.

************

Apparently, the Cassini-Huygens Mission confirmed that the north pole of Saturn is purple. If so, like so many other things, that would further confirm the old legends However, mainstream "Masonic science" is not prepared to divulge that Saturn is a dwarf star.

Hostile Takeover

October 29, 2020

 

*************************

 

Each aspect of this lecture could easily be expanded to at least an hour long examination each. Still, this is a good short summary. The implications of this is boundless. For example, the dinosaurs may well have existed in a small solar system under a star that we now know as Saturn (now a dwarf star), and only later entered this star system. This solar system may have been terraformed for us, and we were brought here. All of our ancestors mixed their blood with various early hominids of one type or another. 'Ancient Aliens' barely scratches the surface. In the same way that our Sun emits a yellow light, or that our closest neighbor binary star Alpha Centauri emits a bluish light, Saturn was said to have emitted a purplish light. The old Saturnian Priesthood of Phoenicia-Canaan used to wear purple hooded robes. The world court systems are all set up very distinctly with symbolism from this ancient Saturnian religious rite.

Summer Solstice 2021 - Elysium & Blood Red Supermoon!

 

Elysium

Elysium or the Elysian Fields is a conception of the afterlife that developed over time and was maintained by some Greek religious and philosophical sects and cults. Initially separate from the realm of Hades, admission was reserved for mortals related to the gods and other heroes. Later, it expanded to include those chosen by the gods, the righteous, and the heroic, where they would remain after death, to live a blessed and happy life, and indulging in whatever employment they had enjoyed in life.

The Elysian Fields were, according to Homer, located on the western edge of the Earth by the stream of Okeanos. In the time of the Greek poet Hesiod, Elysium would also be known as the "Fortunate Isles", or the "Isles (or Islands) of the Blessed", located in the western ocean at the end of the earth. The Isles of the Blessed would be reduced to a single island by the Theban poet Pindar, describing it as having shady parks, with residents indulging in athletic and musical pastimes.

The ruler of Elysium varies from author to author: Pindar and Hesiod name Cronus as the ruler,[9] while the poet Homer in the Odyssey describes fair-haired Rhadamanthus dwelling there. "The Isle of the Blessed" is also featured in the 2nd Century comedic novel "True Story" by Lucian of Samosata.

 

Classical literature

In Homer's Odyssey, Elysium is described as a paradise:

"...to the Elysian plain...where life is easiest for men. No snow is there, nor heavy storm, nor ever rain, but ever does Ocean send up blasts of the shrill-blowing West Wind that they may give cooling to men."
-- Homer, Odyssey (4.560–565)

"Fratres! (fraternal brothers) Three weeks from now I will be harvesting my crops. Imagine where you will be, and it will be so. Hold the line. Stay with me. If you find yourself alone, riding in green fields with the sun on your face, do not be troubled; for you are in Elysium, and you're already dead!"

-- Maximus Decimus Meridius, 'Gladiator'

************

'Gladiator' & 'The Last Samurai'

Recently on the Paramount channel I believe, on a few evenings there was a double-feature of these two films. One of the things that occurred to me about 'Gladiator'--a film with so many profound quotes--was the demoting of Maximus from a general who issued epic quotes such as "Strength and Honor" and "Brothers, what we do in life, echoes in eternity" in support of what he believed in: The Roman Empire.... to a slave forced to fight and risk death or maiming for the mere entertainment of others; Maximus after throwing the sword at the elites in the luxury box: "Are you not entertained!?"

Proximo's somewhat less-than-awe-inspiring quote to rally his gladiators during training put an exclamation point on that demotion: "Ultimately, we're all dead men. Sadly, we cannot choose how but, what we can decide is how we meet that end, in order that we are remembered, as men." Maximus' later quote in Rome's Colosseum was almost like a belated response to Proximo. Maximus: "Marcus Aurelius had a dream that was Rome, Proximo. This is not it! This is not it!" Just like the Samurai, Maximus was not afraid of death nearly as much as dishonor. The heroic ethic is long gone from this world, replaced by capitalism, communism, materialism, attention seeking, pleasure seeking, greed, self-worship, self-interest, rootless universalism, and baseless overt sex and violence.

Festa di Tana 2021

Tana's Day

Festival of Tana: May Eve (evening of April 30th) and May 1st.

 There are four springfests coming straight out of the ancient pagan world: Imbolc (February 1), Lupercalia (February 15), Ostara (March 19-23), and Beltane (May 1). Imbolc was the start of spring to the ancient Gaels. I suspect that after being snowed in for several months, it was more in anticipation of the coming warm weather. Roman Lupercalia was originally more pastoral, based on the approaching spring weather allowing for livestock to graze. Ostara was the start of spring to the Teutons. Beltane was the actual start of warm weather in more of practical way of looking at it.

DVDs outdated!!?

As you've may have noticed, DVDs of full seasons of television programs are often simply no longer available. It doesn't seem very long ago that so many people were in love with the idea that if they couldn't get to see their favorite programs, that they could just purchase the whole season and either binge watch them or just watch at their own leisure. There were many who preferred to wait and just buy the DVD at the end of the season. Well, many sources have announced that with streaming services available online, DVDs are an outdated media. Part of the idea is that the cost to prepare all of these programs for distribution doesn't not match the projected sales anymore.

This still doesn't seem like a satisfactory answer to me! Are people so shallow what they can no longer distinguish between the latest streaming fad to programs that they would like to own? Why do they see some streaming service as their own electric library? What if someone doesn't want to watch movies online? I guess I just can't quite grasp as to why they don't have specific movies and programs they wish to own? I get the music thing, but books are the same thing. It seems impractical to me to require some electronic reader to read a book; yet another device that must be charged, instead of just pulling a book off the shelf for reference.

I know that if someone wanted to purchase the entire collection of say 'Bonanza', that it would be available. However, the half dozen or so tv series that I wish to own are not available. A couple of them aren't even available on Amazon Prime; although I suspect that they would be available on the new Discovery Plus streaming service. Why I want to save just these very few tv series is my own business! I just want to own them. I have also read that as time has gone on, the producers are more and more reluctant to release tv series because they can easily be copied, and they want to horde the product for themselves... to maximize the profit. I don't see why Amazon, Discovery, or Netflix can't just make films and tv programs available to burn onto CDs.... and just charge extra for the service? They could overcharge and make a mint! Each party could get what they want.

Although there always seems to be what are almost "built in excuses" whenever something is discovered beyond what is known to the public, such as the Zuiyo-maru carcass or the Montauk Monster, the preponderance of evidence tells a different tale.Although its doubtful that a plesiosaur type creature--with a brain the size of a walnut--would have the cunning to remain out of sight from humans, I think there are large deep sea creatures.

Nothing Gold Can Stay ("Stay Gold" from 'The Outsiders')

Nothing Gold Can Stay is a poem by Robert Frost (1874-1963), written in 1923.

In The Outsiders, it is recited by Ponyboy Curtis to Johnny Cade while they are hiding at the old church.

Johnny later refers to the poem in his last words to Ponyboy "Stay gold!" and in his letter which Ponyboy received after Johnny's death.

Text

'Nothing Gold Can Stay'
Nature’s first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf’s a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day.

A view from Bieszczady National Park in Poland

[Featured now on Windows 10 Spotlight]

This park’s logo features the head of a Eurasian lynx, and it’s fitting that the official symbol is an animal and not, say, a broad forest or tall mountain. Sure, there’s plenty of countryside to admire in Poland’s Bieszczady National Park, and because the place is rather remote, the animals are abundant. Aside from the iconic Eurasian lynx, bears, grey wolves, and wild boars flourish here. The European wildcat also roams the area—a rare species that looks uncannily like a slightly stouter, fluffier, housecat. (Sorry, they can’t be domesticated.)

The mysterious world of root systems

Root systems--from all types of trees, bushes, shrubs, plants, grass, etc--are far more complex than had previously been known. In the same manner in which a tree branches into the air, it also branches into the soil. All of these root systems mingle, merge, and become tangled in the world that we cannot see. For example, wines which are produced from vines planted nearby eucalyptus trees take on a "eucalyptus taste." Why would that be? All of the different roots, great and small, absorb water and nutrients from the soil. It's possible and probably likely then that the minerals and nutrients from decomposed eucalyptus leaves, through absorption, passes that taste through the vines and to the grapes.

However, it's becoming established now that there is much more to this subject. All of the various trees, shrubs, plants, etc.... actually cooperate and help each other! For example when one plant life-form is in need of a particular nutrient or mineral, it communicates this need through a chemical process, and one of the other plant like-forms tied together within it's root system will actually pass it onto them. I know, it's hard to believe, but it's true. Often it's the larger plant life-forms which cater to the smaller ones in this manner, and this system revolves around the trees. The trees are the gentle giants around which this process works. It's like a loving community of selfless lifeforms, always providing for each others needs if they can.

The Green Moon

Sometimes under a clear night sky with a prominent moon, especially a full or almost full moon during the warm weather of a still night, the moonlight appears in a light golden color as it illuminates the landscape. Through the imagination, and there could be a scientific basis for it, it can appear as an almost light bluish light.

During the past several evening hiking, I did observe that the moonlight actually appeared in a greenish hue. This was due to the very green foliage of spring. This illusion of green light still seemed magickal to me amid the stillness; the moon lovingly shining light upon the new spring life.

I tend to believe that moonlight itself is healthy for you. The sunlight reflecting off the moon represents the energy from an intermingling of male and female spiritual energy. I think through this reflected light, the moon passes down the gentleness of the divine feminine to the life on earth. Even if we just look at this within the confines of modern science, in the same manner that a house plant can absorb and shift its leaves toward indirect sunlight, plants are indeed absorbing some nutrients from the moonlight... even if it's perhaps just 15% of what indirect sunlight can provide it during the daylight hours. Of course, this would be only if the conditions were available (clear sky, prominent moon above, etc). However, I think there is much more to this.

More than mere moonlight, a prominent or full moon deeply affects the magnetic pull of the earth; for example the tides, or even how it affects our bodies. Although it does not have the brightness of the divine masculine energy of the sun, it more than makes up for it in other ways. It affects menstrual cycles, now proven by mainstream science. It affects our chakras, our blood, our brains, body functions, our energy, our emotions, etc. This is all separate from the moonlight itself; still I think our health can also benefit by absorbing the moonlight.... including spiritual and mental health.

(Lyrics:)

You know I can be found,
sitting home all alone,
If you can't come around,
at least please telephone.
Don't be cruel to a heart that's true.

Baby, if I made you mad
for something I might have said,
Please, let's forget the past,
the future looks bright ahead,
Don't be cruel to a heart that's true.
I don't want no other love,
Baby it's just you I'm thinking of.

Don't stop thinking of me,
don't make me feel this way,
Come on over here and love me,
you know what I want you to say.
Don't be cruel to a heart that's true.
Why should we be apart?
I really love you baby, cross my heart.

Let's walk up to the preacher
and let us say I do,
Then you'll know you'll have me,
and I'll know that I'll have you,
Don't be cruel to a heart that's true.
I don't want no other love,
Baby it's just you I'm thinking of.

Don't be cruel to a heart that's true.
Don't be cruel to a heart that's true.
I don't want no other love,
Baby it's just you I'm thinking of.Elvis Presley - Don't Be Cruel

Leonid Meteor Shower 2020 (November 16 & 17)

 

The Leonid Meteor Shower—See it November 16-17, 2020: A Search the Sky Activity

The Lawrence Hall of Science

The mid-November Leonid Meteor Shower can be one of the most productive meteor showers of the year. Your host for this video saw over a hundred meteors in an hour in a city sky in 2001! It was an exceptional year. This year there is no forecast for greatness, but one never knows. At least the Moon will be out of the way, and its light will not interfere.

The meteors in this shower are caused by small fragments of Comet 55P/Tempel-Tuttle. An “applet” from JPL and NASA that lets you see and explore the orbit of Comet 55P-Tempel-Tuttle, as well as other Solar System objects, is here:

'All you need to know: 2020’s Leonid meteor shower'

Posted by Deborah Byrd - Astronomy Essentials - November 14, 2020

2020’s Leonid meteor shower is expected to peak on the morning of November 17, during the dark hours before dawn. Charts, tips and details here.

November’s wonderful Leonid meteor shower is active from about November 6 to 30 each year. The peak is expected in 2020 on the morning of November 17. The shower happens as our world crosses the orbital path of Comet 55P/Tempel-Tuttle. Like many comets, Tempel-Tuttle litters its orbit with bits of debris. It’s when this cometary debris enters Earth’s atmosphere and vaporizes that we see the Leonid meteor shower. In 2020, the moon – in a waxing crescent phase – will set in early evening, to provide moon-free skies after midnight when the most meteors typically fall. In a dark sky, with no moon, you can see up to 10 to 15 meteors per hour at the peak.
