NOV 15, 2004 - Leonid Meteor Shower 2004 is Space.com's guide to this week's top celestial display. Don't get me wrong, nobody's expecting the best Leonids ever. But at least the Moon will have set before the meteor swarm gets up to speed, which will made for dark skies and optimum viewing conditions. This gives us all a pretty fair shot at spotting these remnants of Comet Tempel-Tuttle November 16-19. Anywhere from a few shooting stars per hour to as many as one a minute will go blazing through the skies, depending on where you happen to be at the time. Speaking of time, from midnight into the wee hours will get you the best view. Pull up a chair and enjoy the show!
