What are the Leonids ,you may ask your self?The Leonids is an asteroid belt that the earth passes through every November , it is made up of the remnents left by a comet. When the comet passes close to the orbit of the earth the Leonids become much more intense,with some time up to 500 "falling stars " per hour visable to the naked eye. Even without the comet in the earth's orbit it is a fairly fantastic light show. The name comes from the fact that the "falling stars "originate from the  constellation Leo.The light show starts tonight (11/13) and runs through the 21st. For the best viewing,on the 17th & 18th 2a.m. to dawn,go to your local state/ national forest, Or anyplace away from bright city lights, look to a littile to the west of the middle of the sky,a little to the south they will be traveling west to east.
