The Leonid meteor shower, named after the Leo zodiac, originates from Comet Tempel-Tuttle, creating stunning shooting stars that can be seen from November 6 to 30.
During its peak, which falls on November 18, observers can expect to see about 10 meteors per hour, even amidst light pollution from the full moon.
The renowned Leonids meteor shower can produce spectacular displays, historically reaching thousands of meteors per hour, with the last major surge occurring from 1999 to 2001.
To witness the Leonids effectively, find a location away from city lights, have a comfortable setup, and be patient—visibility improves after adjusting to the dark.
