Leonid Meteor Shower Will Bring Shooting Stars This November

1 ~~~ The Leonid Meteor Shower Will Bring Shooting Stars This November — How and When to See It ~ T&L ~~~

In 1966, thousands of meteors burst from the heavens and illuminated the sky for a brief 15-minute period — eyewitnesses reported that the shooting stars almost looked like rain, given how many there were. This wasn’t a typical meteor shower, but a full-blown meteor storm, a phenomenon that’s been happening as part of the Leonid meteor shower for centuries.

While this year’s shower is expected to produce far fewer meteors — the dazzling storms only happen every 33 years or so — you can still look to the skies to witness shooting stars in the middle of the month. Here’s everything you need to know.
