The best time to view a meteorite shower depends on the specific meteor shower and your location. Generally, it is best to look toward the constellation from which the meteor shower originates. You can check online for specific information about the meteor shower schedule and position in the sky during its peak.
A meteor shower occurs when Earth passes through a trail or dust left behind by a comet and little bits of rock burn up in the atmosphere. A meteorite shower occurs when a large meteor breaks apart at a high altitude and falls to the ground in small pieces.
The first recorded meteorite shower occurred in 1833, known as the Leonids meteor shower. It was observed in North America, where thousands of meteors were seen streaking across the sky in a matter of hours. This event significantly heightened public interest in meteor showers and prompted scientific study of meteoric phenomena.
