"Get Ready for the Spectacular Leonid Meteor Shower this Weekend"

TL;DR Summary
The Leonid meteor shower, known for its spectacular displays in the past, is expected to reach its peak on Saturday morning. However, this year's shower is predicted to be weak, with only 10 to 15 meteors per hour. To maximize your chances of seeing the meteors, find a dark, non-light polluted area and look towards the Leo constellation after midnight. The Leonids are caused by the periodic Comet Tempel-Tuttle, which leaves a trail of debris in its wake. While this year's shower may be underwhelming, future years are expected to bring more impressive displays.
