Meteor shower this weekend
The annual meteor shower named Leonid may appear later this week in the skies of North America and Western Europe.
This meteor shower is expected to last 2 hours, starting around 445 (GMT) early Sunday morning. People in these two regions can admire about 150 shooting stars flying through the sky every hour.
However, according to Mr. Booke, the head of the Comet Research Center of the US Aerospace Agency (NASA), this meteor shower will take place " faintly " because it is formed from Very small dust particles of comets. Mr. Cooke also advised everyone to watch Leonid before dawn, when the sky is still dark. The Leonid meteor shower appears in November every year when the earth passes through the Comet Tempel-Tuttle.
