These meteors are pea- and sand-sized bits of dust and debris left behind by the Tempel-Tuttle comet.

The 2019 Leonid meteor shower is active from November 5th through the 30th and will peak during the early morning hours of Monday, November 18. The Leonids have an intense peak every 33 years.

Whenever the Earth hits one of these streams, meteors appear to be flying out of the constellation Leo. When the sky is dark and clear, moonless meteors are easier to see. Be sure to check online to see when it will be visible in your part of the world. They're known for being bright and colourful, and some of the moving rocks fly through space at about 44 miles per second.

Where does the Leonid Meteor Shower come from?

In recent history, you might remember this shower.

For reference, the cream of the crop meteor showers, the Persieds and Geminids, typically produce about 60 meteors an hour, so this could truly be an event for the ages.

If you've been feeling temperamental, bored, or detached from the details of your life, this meteor shower is here to change things up and get you feeling energized and interested again. If you want to photograph the Leonid meteor shower, NASA suggests using a camera with manual focus on a tripod with a shutter release cable or built-in timer, fitted with a wide-angle lens.
