This comet requires 33 years to complete its one round about the Sun, and every 33 years we see a Peak in the ZHR (Zenithal Hourly Rate) of the meteor shower, i.e. no. of meteors are visible per hour for a location.

A 'Radiant' is an apparent point in a constellation(in this case, Leo), where the Meteors seem to originate from if we trace back their path.

This Meteors shower produces some very bright meteors and fireballs and it can be a great experience watching/photographing it from a dark sky! This year, the bright moon may affect the visibility of faint meteors, however, do try to observe and enjoy the event!
