Leonid Meteor Shower Peaks November 17-18
The Leonid meteor shower is set to peak on November 17 and 18, offering stargazers around 10 to 15 meteors per hour under ideal viewing conditions. This annual celestial event is caused by Earth passing through debris left behind by comet 55P/Tempel-Tuttle. Observers worldwide can witness the display, which historically produced the massive 1833 Great Meteor Storm.
