Leonid meteors are visible in the night sky from early November to early December. This weekend, the ongoing meteor shower reaches its maximum intensity, with a peak Sunday night into early Monday.

The annual Leonids meteor shower is due to peak next week, hopefully giving stargazers a treat to brighten up the dark winter evenings. The Leonids are due to show between November 3 and December 2 this year, and predicted to peak on the night of November 16, according to the American Meteor Society.
