Why can't astronomers use a telescope to study the entire surface of the moon?

The moon has no atmosphere, so there is nothing there to burn up the dust and dirt and ice and rocks, turning them into meteors, as happens on Earth. Meteors seen on Earth are so brief and fast and enclosed by the atmosphere, and so far from the Moon that you would not see Earth's meteors from the Moon.The moon has no atmosphere, so there is nothing there to burn up the dust and dirt and ice and rocks, turning them into meteors, as happens on Earth.

Where did the leonids come from?

On our journey around the sun each year, in November we pass through the dust trail of the comet Tempel Tuttle. As we do, some of this dust and debris gets into our atmosphere and burns up, which we then see as meteors. On November 17th each year we are right inside the dust trail, so we see the most meteors, before we start moving out again. You will still be able to see meteors for many nights to come, as we will still be in the dust trail, but moving into a thinner part of it again and then out. The meteors appear to come from the part of the sky where the constellation Leo is, hence the name Leonids, but they have nothing to do with Leo.
