Why are they called the Leonids showers?
The Leonids meteor shower is named after the constellation Leo, from which the meteors appear to originate. This annual event occurs when Earth passes through the debris left by Comet Tempel-Tuttle, which orbits the Sun approximately every 33 years. As the comet nears the Sun, it sheds particles that enter Earth's atmosphere, creating bright streaks of light in the night sky during the shower. The Leonids are particularly known for their impressive displays, including some years of intense meteor storms.
