Strong Leonid Meteor Shower Peaks Early Tuesday Morning.
Again, many of us didn't know what meteor shower is. So here is the simpler explaination.
The Leonids (aka meteor shower) are created by the comet Tempel-Tuttle, which passes through the inner solar system every 33 years on its orbit around the sun. Each time by, it leaves a new river of debris, mostly bits of ice and rock no bigger than a sand grain but a few the size of a pea or marble.
