Description: Each year on November 17, the Leonid meteor shower occurs when the earth passes through the debris field of comet Temple-Tuttle.When the debris (meteoroids), usually the size of a grain of sand, collides with the earth’s atmosphere at 72 km/sec. it is vaporized and produces the momentary streaks of light we call a meteor or shooting star.The larger the meteoroid, the brighter is the flash and the longer the streak of light.nnThe Leonids are typically a weak shower with only 15 meteors visi
