While a waning gibbous Moon will add some glow, the meteors are swift and often brilliant, making this shower well worth watching.<\/p>\n<hr data-start=\"1974\" data-end=\"1977\" \/>\n<h2 data-start=\"1979\" data-end=\"2018\">\ud83c\udf19 November 10 \u2013 Moon Near Jupiter<\/h2>\n<ul data-start=\"2019\" data-end=\"2127\">\n<li data-start=\"2019\" data-end=\"2061\">\n<p data-start=\"2021\" data-end=\"2061\"><strong data-start=\"2021\" data-end=\"2042\">Closest Approach:<\/strong> Around 22:00 GMT<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"2062\" data-end=\"2127\">\n<p data-start=\"2064\" data-end=\"2127\"><strong data-start=\"2064\" data-end=\"2081\">Where to See:<\/strong> Visible worldwide, best in the evening sky.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-start=\"2129\" data-end=\"2392\">On this evening, the waxing gibbous Moon will drift close to brilliant Jupiter.
