NASA stated that if the sky is clear, eager stargazers can expect to see at least 15 meteors per hour. NASA also confirmed that the best time to see the Leonid Meteor Shower 2010 will be right before dawn arrives.
NASA describes the Leonid meteor shower as having "not only produced some of the best meteor showers in history, but they have sometimes achieved the status of meteor storm. During a Leonid meteor storm, many thousands of meteors per hour can shoot across the sky. Scientists believe these storms recur in cycles of about 33 years, though the reason is unknown. The last documented Leonid meteor storm occurred in 2002."
