Original Message
"The Leonid meteor shower peaks before dawn on Saturday as the Earth passes through debris left behind by the comet 55P/Tempel-Tuttle.
The estimate for Friday night is around 10 meteors per hour with the comet currently near the orbit of Uranus.
The Leonid meteor shower received its name since it appears as if the meteors, racing through the sky at roughly 45 miles per second, are originating from the constellation Leo.
To find Leo during the predawn of Saturday, AccuWeather.com Astronomy Blogger Mark Paquette suggests you look straight up after first facing east."
