It is the time of the year when the Earth passes through the trail of Comet Tempel-Tuttle, treating us on the ground to what is known as the Leonid Meteor Shower.

Peaking between Tuesday night and early Wednesday morning, Slooh.com will offer a live stream starting at 8 p.m. ET on Nov. 17.

"The Leonid meteor shower arises each year as the Earth passes through bits and pieces left in the orbital path of Comet Tempel-Tuttle," Slooh stated on its website. "The shower is most famous for some remarkable outbursts of meteors in the past. The great Leonid meteor storm of 1833 was perhaps the most spectacular in recorded history. Visible from eastern North America, the storm produced as many as 200,000 meteors per hour, startling some 19th-century observers into near-catatonic terror. The storm lasted nearly four hours."

AccuWeather reported this year's Leonids will not reach "storm" status, which would treat stargazers to a stunning show. Still, viewers can expect 15 meteors per hour.

"Roughly every 33 years the Leonids become a meteor storm with hundreds or thousands of meteors per hour. The Leonids, in 1966 were very impressive as some reported thousands of meteors per minute," Dave Samuhel, a meteorologist for AccuWeather, stated the report.

According to a map the weather website designed, the U.S. East Coast will have a fair view of the Leonid Meteor Shower, though viewers farther inland will not be as lucky.

Maine and the eastern part of New Hampshire should get a great look, as will a good portion of Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, and Southern California. Viewers in the Northwest and Midwest may have to log on to Slooh.com to see anything.
