The Leonid Meteor Shower: A November Sky Show

Get ready to witness the Leonid meteor shower, a celestial event that occurs every November.

These meteors are caused by dust particles from comet 55P/Tempel-Tuttle, which collide with Earth's atmosphere at incredible speeds, creating bright streaks of light.

The peak of the shower is expected on the night of November 17th or early morning of November 18th, so make sure to look up!

Find a dark location, lie back, and watch for the meteors seeming to radiate from a point in the sky known as the Leonids.
