Grains of sand and gravel that burn when they fall into the Earth’s atmosphere. In this way they create a delightful phenomenon.
Leonids took its name from the constellation Leo, where the glowing swarm is located, the place from which meteors seem to fly. Most of these crumbs can be observed on max day.
