TL;DR Summary

The Leonid meteor shower is set to peak this weekend, producing bright meteors with persistent trains streaking across the night sky. Sky-gazers can expect to see 10 to 15 meteors per hour in a dazzling display. The best time to view the shower is after midnight when the constellation Leo is highest in the sky. While meteor storms are not predicted for this year, there is always a chance to see more meteors than the predicted rate. To fully enjoy the meteor shower, it is recommended to get away from light pollution.
