Leo, the famous constellation, appears to be the source of the Leonids Meteor Shower. This is why the November meteor shower is named the Leonids. Sand-sized debris from Comet Tempel-Tuttle follows an orbit around the Sun. The part of the orbit that approaches Earth is superimposed in front of the constellation Leo.
