  • Leonids Meteor Shower Set to Peak with Mixed Expectations

    Broke On: Thursday, 16 November 2023 The Leonids meteor shower is set to peak this weekend. The meteor shower is a result of dust particles from the comet Tempel Tuttle. The Leonids can produce around 15 shooting stars per hour under clear conditions. The meteors appear to originate from the constellation Leo the Lion. The best viewing locations are safe and dark areas away from city lights.
