TL;DR Summary

This week offers great opportunities for stargazing with moon-free nights. The crescent moon will gradually brighten each evening, providing a chance to observe "Earthshine" reflected from our planet's oceans and ice-caps. Additionally, the Leonid meteor shower will peak on Friday/Saturday, offering a display of about 15 shooting stars per hour. To enhance your stargazing experience, consider joining an astronomy club to learn from others and explore the night sky together.
