NASA scientists say that it will compete with the Perseids shower in August in terms of intensity. They said, \u201cWe\u2019ll have a meteor shower with chances of a storm.\u201d. The most active period of the meteor shower is expected to occur late Friday night and the early hours of Saturday morning.<\/p>\n<p>Where is camelopardalis?<\/p>\n<p><em>The Giraffe <\/em>is a small group of stars close to the Ursa Major and Ursa Minor constellations. Wherever you are, turn to the north and if you locate Polaris (the North or Pole Star) you will be able to locate the origin of this meteor shower.<\/p>\n<p>Best spots to see the meteor shower in Canc\u00fan<\/p>\n<p>If you are in Canc\u00fan, your best chances of seeing the meteor shower are on Punta Canc\u00fan and the north shore of Cancun Hotel Zone (on The Royal Cancun beach, for instance) where you will be able to see the sky with only the glimmer of the distant lights on Isla Mujeres to affect your view. In fact, if you\u2019re up for an adventure why not cross to Isla Mujeres and go to Punta Norte, where there will be virtually no sources of artificial light. Also, if you want to get as far north as you possibly can, you might try Holbox.<\/p>\n<p>However, wherever you are, the Camelopardalids meteor shower is a good excuse to stay up late this weekend, look up to the heavens and enjoy one of Nature\u2019s greatest shows with your Canc\u00fan family.
