The Leonid is a natural Event produced by the Dust grains left behind by Comet Tempel-Tuttle. It was discovered in 1865 but this shower for this year is unique because it has a cyclonic peak that comes once every 33 yearsl.  The last of these occurred in 2001. You can see hundreds of meteors per hour. Meteor Watching is best after Mid-night. Leonids is an average shower that may produce over 15 meteor per hour. Have the best view at an East Direction.   Come & Enjoy the Beauty of Nature at no cost.
