   What happens when Leonid's peak erupts?

   • The moon will be almost fully illuminated on the date of Leonid's peak so will interfere with viewing opportunities and wash out fainter meteors. Every now and then, the shower erupts into a phenomenal meteor storm where thousands of meteors fall each hour. These storms occur every 33 years or so and the last one occurred in 2002.
