COSMIC MESSAGE

The Leonids meteor shower, which peaks around mid-November, is known for its potential to produce meteor storms with thousands of meteors per hour. The 2001 Leonids were predicted to be dramatic, especially for observers in eastern North and Central America. This image shows a bright meteor. The Leonids are caused by debris from Comet Tempel-Tuttle.
