This weekend marks the peak of the Leonid meteor shower. Known for producing spectacular ‘shooting stars,’ this year’s display may not be as impressive as previous ones. The Leonids are famous, but we don’t anticipate a high volume of meteors in 2024.
Typically occurring mid-November, the Leonids are a beloved annual event for stargazers. However, their reputation as a major meteor shower may take a hit this year. Keep your expectations in check while looking for those fleeting lights in the sky this weekend.
