Watch the Leonid Meteor Shower light up sky
New York - UPI

One of the most anticipated meteor showers of the year is set to peak overnight tonight and all you have to do to see it is look up.
Viewing the annual Leonid Meteor Shower will be somewhat dampened this year by a full moon. But in dark areas away from city lights, viewers can still expect to see plenty of the streaking lights across the sky.
This year's show is expected to peak overnight Nov. 16 into Nov. 17, from late on Sunday night into the predawn hours on Monday.
The 2014 Leonid is expected to be an average display. There have been some legendary Leonid showers: In 1833 and 1966 meteor rates of tens of thousands per hour were observed. In more recent years, most notably 1999, 2001 and 2002, lesser Leonid displays of "only" a few thousand meteors per hour took place.
This year the count could be 10-15 meteors an hour, still a nice show.
An added bonus of this year's shower is an appearance by the planet Jupiter, which is near the Leonid's radiant point in 2014.
Meteor showers happen when Earth travels through a trail of debris left in the wake of a comet orbiting the sun. The Leonids feature the debris field of the comet Tempei-Tuttle.
