Aussies treated to stunning month-long meteor shower
By Emma Kirk
A stunning meteor shower will light up the Australian night sky throughout November as the Earth passes through debris left behind by Comet Tempel-Tuttle.
The annual Leonids meteor will stream across the sky from Monday before it peaks around the morning of November 17 and 18.
The meteor shower will last until early next month as the Earth passes through the meteor stream in space, EarthSky reported.
The astronomers said it might be possible to see up to 15 Leonid meteors per hour under a dark sky with no moon.
