Have you heard of the Leonid meteor shower? It comes around every November, but the chances of seeing it this year are much higher than last year. The shower happens at the same time every year, when Earth’s orbit crosses the orbit of Comet Tempel-Tuttle, according to Space.com. A trail of dust is left behind the comet, and when Earth’s orbit crosses that trail, pieces of the comet fall toward our planet’s surface. Luckily for us, meteors are visible to the naked eye, and the shower will peak overnight Monday into Tuesday (Nov. 16-17) around 3 a.m.

SAN ANTONIO Jupiter and Saturn -- they are planets you can see right now in the San Antonio night skies. If you dont know how to spot them or dont have a telescope to find them the San Antonio Astronomical Association is here to help. Every Wednesday, the association meets up for its free to the public event, Astronomy in the Park. The event is at Raymond Rimkus Park located on Evers Road in Leon Valley. Right now, its just Jupiter and Saturn that are very clear to spot, but Mars will also be visible later this month. The event is weekly depending on clear skies and if weather permits.
