It’s that time of year again — the Leonid meteor shower reaches its peak on the night of November 17, producing around 10–15 bright meteors per hour.
These meteors, once part of comet 55P/Tempel–Tuttle, streak through Earth’s atmosphere at about 70 km/s (155,000 mph), leaving fast, straight trails across the sky.
Wrap up warm, find a dark spot, and enjoy the show!
