The best views of [Camelopardalids](http://earthsky.org/space/comet-209p-linear-meteor-shower-storm-may-2014 "undefined") will likely be across the mid-latitudes of North America, but if you’re not there–or if you just don’t think you’ll make it outside or to a window–then you can watch nature’s art performance on a live stream provided by the [Slooh celestial observation network](http://live.slooh.com/ "undefined") in partnership with NASA starting at 11:00 P.M. ET. Astronomer Bob Berman and Slooh host Geoff Fox will offer commentary during the broadcast. Viewers can ask questions during the show via Twitter by using hashtag #slooh. The meteor shower is actually debris from [Comet 209P/LINEAR](http://time.com/107977/watch-comet-209p-linear-live-stream/ "undefined"), which is making the 9th closest comet fly by ever observed on Friday night. The comet won’t be bright enough to see with the naked eye, but you can [watch that via another livestream](http://time.com/107977/watch-comet-209p-linear-live-stream/ "undefined") from a powerful telescope on the Canary Islands supported online by Slooh. Predictions aren’t always right, but experts project that peak time to watch the meteor shower will be between 2 and 4 a.m E.T. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/111029/watch-camelopardalid-meteor-shower-live-stream/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/111029/watch-camelopardalid-meteor-shower-live-stream/"},"headline":"Watch Tonight’s Meteor Shower Livestream Here","datePublished":"2014-05-23T23:28:01.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-21T08:01:53.254Z","description":"A passing comet is expected to unleash a beautiful meteor shower Friday night and Saturday morning.","url":"https://time.com/111029/watch-camelopardalid-meteor-shower-live-stream/","keywords":["Space","astronomy","NASA","live stream"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Noah Rayman","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/noah-rayman/"}],"articleSection":"Science","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/science/","name":"Science"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/space/","name":"Space"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/111029/watch-camelopardalid-meteor-shower-live-stream/","name":"Watch Tonight’s Meteor Shower Livestream Here"}}]}] ```
