"Stargazers Alert: Catch the Spectacular Leonid Meteor Shower Tonight!"

The Leonid meteor shower is set to peak early Saturday morning, offering a dazzling display of bright and colorful meteors. The shower will be visible in both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres, with the best visibility after midnight local time. The moon's waxing crescent phase will provide a dark sky for viewing, and NASA suggests finding a dark area away from light pollution. While some regions may experience rain and cloud cover, parts of the Midwest, Great Plains, and Rocky Mountains are expected to have clear skies. The meteors can reach speeds of 44 miles per second, and the shower will continue until sunrise.
