One of the most significant annual meteor showers, the Leonids originate with Comet Tempel-Tuttle, according to Royal Museums Greenwich. So-called “shooting stars” appear when Earth cruises through the old debris field from the comet, both celestial objects orbiting the sun on annually crossing paths.

A famous meteor shower is returning to the night sky, with its peak expected to coincide this weekend with the latest supermoon. The Leonids peak in mid-November each year, according to NASA, bringing more than a dozen meteors per hour.

Leonid meteors are a few years away from producing a storm that dazzles viewers once every 33 years, but they could still put on a show this weekend.
