Leonid meteor shower 2026 in San Jose: the sky above you
The real sky over San Jose, United States at 17 November 2026, 04:00 local time: 3,158 stars above the horizon, including Sirius, Capella, Rigel. This is the peak night of the Leonids, the shower behind the great meteor storms of 1833 and 1966. Free to view, printable as an A3 star chart.
The Leonids radiant is 54° above the horizon over San Jose at that moment — the poster marks it.
The Moon was below the horizon over San Jose at that moment — a first quarter, 50% lit — so it leaves the sky to the stars, and the poster shows it the way the night really was.
Brightest named stars up at that moment: Sirius, Capella, Rigel, Procyon, Betelgeuse, Aldebaran. Every star is a real one from the HYG catalogue, placed with the exact latitude (37.34°) and longitude (-121.89°) of San Jose. North is up and east is on the left, as when you look up.
Printing it at home? There is a second paper: the same sky as ink on white. A full-bleed night A3 bands on a home printer and drinks a cartridge; the ink one does not. Same price, pick either on the next page.
Preview free, one-off payment, no account. Change the place and the line of text on the poster page, or see which moment to pick for a birth, a wedding or an anniversary.
