The Leonid meteor shower happens every November.
The meteors are known to be bright, colorful, and very fast, traveling at 44 miles per second.
Meteor rates are as low as three meteors per hour, but NASA says stargazers can catch up to 10 to 15 meteors per hour this year.
The best chances of seeing the meteors will be after midnight and into the early morning hours.
The American Meteor Society says to go to a dark location away from city lights and look to the eastern sky and the constellation Leo.
Meteors will be seen streaking from there in various directions.
The moon will also be less than 10% full, making it easier to see the Leonids.
