Its bright medium-slow meteors diverge from a radiant point close to Castor but appear in all parts of the sky.
Meteors of the Geminids shower fly in all parts of the sky between the 8th and 17th, their paths diverging from a radiant point that lies close to Castor and crosses high in the south at 02 00.
Our chart also plots within the Sickle the radiant point for the annual Leonids meteor shower which is active from 15-20 November and reaches a sharp peak at about 01 00 on the 18th.
Diverging from a radiant point in NE Orion, close to the feet of Gemini, as many as 15 Orionids per hour might be seen as Orion climbs through the SE on those mornings.
This was possible as the echo rate is at a minimum at the radiant point, and a maximum at 90 degrees to it.
The November meteor shower called the Leonids has its radiant, or point of apparent origin, in Leo.
Find the constellation Leo, and locate the radiant, or originating point, of the meteor shower.
They can appear anywhere but seem to emerge from a single point, or "radiant".
The radiant is the central point from which the meteors will emanate.
Still, the Fire Dynamic Simulator cannot yet predict when flashover will occur because of the sheer complexity of calculating the interactions of hot and cold air, radiant temperatures and the ignition points of multiple materials over a long period.
