Up to 15 meteors an hour: Leonid shower peaks November 17-18

The Leonid meteor shower will peak on November 17-18, producing around 10 to 15 meteors an hour under ideal viewing conditions. The annual shower is caused by debris from comet 55P/Tempel-Tuttle. Its history includes the extraordinary 1833 Great Meteor Storm, when hundreds of thousands of shooting stars lit up the sky over eastern North America.
