The Leonid meteor shower, called so because it happens around and near the constellation Leo, is leftovers from the comet 55P/Tempel-Tuttle that scattered space dust around the year 1533. The Earth moving through that dust makes these fantastic "shooting stars" throughout the sky. The shower was most visible in Asia and said to have produced hundreds of "shooting stars" per hour, 300 to 500.

That picture reminds me of a bad night of drinking I had when I was 17.

Mr. ColdOne and I used to watch it all the time when we lived in California. It is always cloudy for us now.. It is a beautiful thing to watch.

Never could figure out why a brain-dead non-entity like Brezhnev should have a meteor shower named for him.
