The Leonid meteor shower peaks late Sunday night, offering 10-15 meteors per hour with minimal moonlight interference.
These fast-moving meteors originate from debris shed by Comet 55P/Tempel-Tuttle.
North American observers can enjoy a solid show by finding a dark location, dressing warmly, and looking overhead.
Fast-moving meteors to light up the sky
The Leonid meteor shower is set to peak late Sunday night, November 16th, and into the early hours of Monday morning, promising a celestial display of fast-moving meteors. Under ideal conditions, stargazers can expect to witness 10 to 15 meteors per hour. This year's viewing conditions are particularly favorable, thanks to a dim waning crescent Moon that will rise after 4:30 a.m., ensuring minimal light interference.
