Nothing says fresh quite like ancient pieces of dust streaking past Earth at thousands of miles per hour as they disappear in a fiery blaze of glory. Well maybe that does not say fresh exactly, but a once in a lifetime chance to see over 30 meteors an hour right outside your window certainly does. Supposedly Asia is the best spot for viewing, but North America will still see quite a show. So grab your blanket, your lounge chair and an Amp energy drink to make sure you will be alert and enjoy the show. And a fresh little factoid is that if you follow back the tail of each meteor you will find the origin in the constellation Leo (The Lion - roooaaar). Thus the catchy Leonid name.

Space rocks.
(True on two levels.)
Space does rock! And so does Leo the Lion.
