After Skygazers were treated with two meteor showers last month, the return of the Leonid Meteor Shower will be seen to light up the sky earlier this week in November.
The American Meteorological Society writes on its website, “Leonids will peak on the night of November 16, 2020,” the moon will be 5% complete, making it easy to see from both hemispheres.
The Leonid Meteor Shower is the result of a comet 55p / Temple-Tuttle, which orbits the Sun for 33 years. AMS added that the meteor shower is a debris of previous returns that are very ga ense at the same time.

A.M.S. It is also noted that the Leonids overlap with the Northern Turids meteor shower, which reached its peak on 11-12 November.
When the comet returns in 2031 and 2064, there will be more than 100 meteors per hour, but it is likely that by then Skyway will see about 15 fountain members per hour, possibly with a weak fury when the Earth passes by. “Near the debris trail,” AMSA explained.
“This shower is called the Leonid Shower because meteors seem to come from a point in the constellation Leo,” NASA states states.
The last Leonid meteor storm occurred in 2002, according to the Space Agency.
Despite this, they are considered the “main” fountain by NASA, adding that Leonids are known for their fireballs and earthy az zar meteors.
“Fireballs are large explosions of light and color that can last longer than the average meteor line,” NASA explained, “large particles of cometry material.” Due to the emergence of.
“Earthgrazers are meteors that live close to the horizon and are known for their long and colorful tails,” the agency added.

Details of when the meteor shower will appear around the world are available on the website TindDate.com.
A meteorite forms when a meteorite, a type of space rock whose planet is broken – a rocky body orbiting the sun – enters the Earth’s atmosphere. As soon as space debris is crossed, what scientists call a “meteor” breaks down, which then evaporates and – as a result of friction – appears as a bright wave of light in the sky.
“Because of their appearance, some people call this streak of light meteor shooting stars.” “But scientists know that meteors are not stars – they are just pieces of rock,” NASA explained in a blog post.
Other meteor showers this year include Geminds and Ursids, both expected in December.
