The annual Leonid meteor shower will reach its peak tonight when an average of 20 shots per hour in the sky aking they remain visible

Known for their brightness and color, Leonidas features any fast-moving rock in the annual fountain – traveling at a speed of 44 miles per second.

If the sky is clear, the dark wrinkled crescent moon, which is about two percent full, makes it easy to see if the stargazers should see about 20 meteors per hour.

You can see the shooting stars looking east in the direction of Leo’s constellation – but you’ll find a region of short skies in the sky.

According to the UK Met Office, most of the UK is expected to be covered in clouds in the next 24 hours, so clear skies can be difficult to find.

For the most revenue from the annual show, go out right after midnight and use a wide-angle lens to get as much of the sky as possible if you want to get pictures.

NASA says the best way to see a shower is to find a place far away from street lights, wear warmer clothing and keep your feet flat to the east.

Clouds are expected to cover most of the UK in the next 24 hours, so it may be difficult to get a clear sky, the UK Met Office said.

The United States should have mostly clear skies at peak times except for a few storms along the west coast of the country.

Shooting stars travel at about 45 miles per second (at2 km / s) and about half of them leave visible trains that sometimes last for seconds.

The Leonid waterfall occurs when a comet detaches from Temple-Total and meteorides, small rocks, fall to Earth.

These ignite and evaporate before hitting the earth’s crust – creating a stream of hot air that we see as a shooting star.

The Temple-Total comet, which takes 33 years to orbit the Sun, is close to Earth, an event that occurs over a period of about 15 years.

Since the meteoroids that make up a meteor shower travel all parallel paths and at the same speed, they appear to be visible to Earth observers from a single point in the sky known as illumination.

The Leonid meteor shower is visible around the world, but in low light pollution it looks like Jordan’s Azrak desert, pictured here.

The Leonid meteor shower got its name from its brilliance, where Leo is seen emanating from a meteorite in the constellation.

Every 33 years, the Leonid meteor shower appears as a meteor storm with more than 1000 shooting stars in one hour.

In 2034, researchers predicted that observers would have the opportunity to witness 2,000 meteors per hour in a ‘Leonid storm’.

The next big meteor shower in the sky will be Geminids in mid-December. It is the most powerful meteor shower of the year with 120 Materials per second.
