Look up to the night sky Friday night for November’s full moon, 2024’s last supermoon, followed by the Leonid meteor shower set to peak Saturday night into Sunday.

The annual Leonid meteor shower peaks on Nov. 17, 2024, but a bright moon just two days past full will make viewing this year's Leonids difficult.

One of the most significant annual meteor showers, the Leonids originate with Comet Tempel-Tuttle, according to Royal Museums Greenwich. So-called “shooting stars” appear when Earth cruises through the old debris field from the comet, both celestial objects orbiting the sun on annually crossing paths.
