Leonids Meteor Shower 2025: When, Where, and How to See Up to 10 Meteors Hourly
19 Nov 2025 | Category: Science
The Leonid meteor showers come from debris left behind by a comet called 55P/Tempel-Tuttle. Tiny particles of dust burn up in the atmosphere, producing the meteors visible from the ground. The comet takes 33 years to go around the Sun, so the biggest meteor showers or storms happen roughly every 33 years.
During peak hours, observers could see 10 to 15 meteors per hour if watching under a dark, clear sky.
