Current Natural Events

🌋Seismicity has dropped off in Iceland, but a volcanic eruption may still occur soon.

❄️The US has near-record low snow cover for Mid November.

🌀A tropical disturbance is developing, but it is projected to stay away from the continental US.

🌍A 3.1 magnitude earthquake occurred in Stanwood, Washington, unrelated to the uptick in volcano activity.

🌎There is ongoing seismic activity on the Cascadia range in the Pacific Northwest.

Cosmic Events and Meteor Showers

🌌The gamma ray burst, designated as GRB 22109a, was detected in October 2022 by high-energy detecting satellites.

☄️The meteors appear to originate from the constellation Leo the Lion.

❓Leo the Lion is not expected to produce a meteor storm this year.

🔭Find a dark area away from city lights and let your eyes adjust to the dark for at least 30 minutes before observing the meteor shower.
