Scientists Esko Lyytinen and Peter Jenniskens believe there is a
“good chance” to spot the first Alpha Monocerotids meteor storm since
1995.
But you will have to be quick to see the outburst, as the storm may only last between 15 and 40 minutes.
"Unlike most meteor outbursts, which last for several hours, strong activity from the Alpha Monocerotids is over within an hour and easily missed," the American Meteor Society said.
The outburst is forecast to reach its climax around 11.50pm EST on November 21.
