Gear up for the upcoming Leonid meteor shower caused due to the debris left by the Comet ☄️ Tempel-Tuttle. Thread<2/n>
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.
