How to catch the Leonid meteor shower as it peaks Saturday morning

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 09:37:29 GMT

DENVER (KDVR) — While the Leonids are active from Nov. 3 through Dec. 2 this year, the best time to catch the meteor shower at its peak will be late Friday night into the early morning hours of Saturday, Nov. 18. Meteor showers typically get their name based on a star or constellation that is close to where the meteors appear in the sky. This is true for the Leonids, which appear to originate in the sky near the Leo constellation. While a meteor shower can be spotted by simply looking up, there are ways to improve your odds of catching the peak of 10-15 meteors per hour.Find an outdoor location with limited light pollution, lay on your back with your feet pointing to the southeast toward the constellation Leo and give your eyes about 30 minutes to adjust. Make sure that you bundle up if you will be heading out in the Denver area.

For years, music teacher Simon Watts called his Somerville condo home.He wasn’t looking to sell, but was intrigued when a real estate company, MV Realty, offered him upfront cash in return for the promise that they could sell him home when the time was right.“I was a bit skeptical,” he remembered.After talking to some people and researching the company, he decided to take them up on the offer of $2,120 in exchange for the exclusive rights to list his home in the future.“When I didn’t find anything, I thought why not?” he said.He said he thinks he used the money to buy flights for the family and then didn’t think much of it after that.What he didn’t know was that the company placed a lien on his property. Since Watts didn’t try to sell his home in the year since he signed with MV Realty, he said he was unaware his home had a lien on it until 7 Investigates reached out this fall.“I don’t think they should be able to.

Does Zach LaVine have lingering resentment over benching a year ago? ‘I haven’t heard that at all,’ Chicago Bulls coach Billy Donovan says.

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 09:37:29 GMT

The potential of an impending trade has dominated this week for Zach LaVine.But before Wednesday’s 96-94 loss to the Orlando Magic, Chicago Bulls coach Billy Donovan wasn’t concerned about his star guard’s ability to balance his focus between the off-court drama and his on-court duties.“He’s always been coachable,” Donovan said. “He’s always been a guy that you can go to and talk to.”Another haphazard game from LaVine, however, offered more questions than answers about the two-time All-Star’s future with the Bulls. This week has added tumult to the latest chapter of the LaVine era in Chicago — a chapter bookended by two games against the Magic.When the Bulls faced the Magic on Nov. 18, 2022, LaVine suffered the worst shooting night of his life. He shot 1-for-14 from the field, missing all five of his 3-point attempts, before Donovan finally yanked him off the court for the final four minutes, forcing LaVine to watch f...
