The Moon is too close to where the Leonid meteors will stream from. While it is not the best place to look for meteors, the radiant point where they stream from, it does rather make for washing out the shower all over the sky anyway. Every 33 years the Leonids does get pretty active, from its measly 20 per hour to hundreds or thousands, but this year it will be hard put to even get that 20 visible with the Moon light washing out the Lion’s mouth.
