Spot the 2024 Leonid Meteor Shower's Spectacular Fireballs This Week

The Leonid meteor shower will peak on November 17-18, 2024, potentially displaying up to 15 meteors per hour, though a bright waning gibbous moon may hinder visibility. The shower, caused by debris from Comet 55P/Tempel-Tuttle, occasionally results in meteor storms, but such an event is not expected this year. The best viewing is in dark skies, though the moon's light will be a challenge.
