Leonid meteor shower to peak November 17-18 with up to 15 meteors an hour
The Leonid meteor shower is expected to reach its peak on November 17 and 18. Under ideal viewing conditions, observers may see roughly 10 to 15 meteors per hour. The annual event is produced by debris left behind by comet 55P/Tempel-Tuttle. The shower has a dramatic past, including the 1833 Great Meteor Storm, which filled skies over eastern North America with hundreds of thousands of shooting stars.
