Meteors during the Leonid shower are considered to be some of the fastest to appear each year, NASA said, as they travel at about 44 miles per second across the night sky, and they are known for their fireballs—caused by larger debris—that are often brighter and leave behind “long and colorful tails.”

Look up to the night sky Friday night for November’s full moon, 2024’s last supermoon, followed by the Leonid meteor shower set to peak Saturday night into Sunday.

The Leonid meteor shower is set to delight stargazers, sending shooting stars streaking across the night sky. The Leonids – one of the more prolific annual displays – are usually fast, bright meteors and are associated with Comet Tempel-Tuttle.
