> Don't get your hopes up. This year's Leonid meteor shower, due to peak on
> Friday, Nov. 19th, won't be like the jaw-dropping storms we've seen in
> recent years. But in some places there could be a nice display.
>
> Sky watchers in eastern Europe and Asia are favored; they might see as
> many as 60 meteors per hour around 21:49 GMT when Earth skims through a
> cloud of space dust deposited almost 300 years ago by Comet Tempel-Tuttle.
>
> Sky watchers in the Americas won't see so many Leonids, perhaps only 5 to
> 15 per hour.  The best time to look from the Americas is during the hours
> before sunrise on Friday, Nov. 19th, and maybe again on Saturday, Nov.
> 20th.
