Get your lawn chairs ready for the Leonid meteor shower -  it's expected to hit its peak Monday night and Tuesday morning with 10-15 meteors shooting across the sky an hour. 

The meteors will come from the constellation Leo the Lion, which the annual November showers were named after. This particular meteor shower happens when Earth moves through the dust grains that comet Tempel-Tuttle left behind, reports Bellingham Herald. 

Perhaps the most unique thing about the shower is that roughly every 33 years the comet is caught releasing fresh material as it soars through the inner solar system and around the sun, creating meteor showers with hundreds of meteors to be seen per hour, Bellingham Herald reported. 

Next week's shower is expected to be good according to experts, but we're not due to reach a huge shower yet. The last one was in 2001, reported Bellingham Herald.  

In 1996 the Leonid meteor shower produced what is called one of the greatest meteor showers of all time by many. 

"As my eyes adjusted to the dark, I noticed meteors streaking down at an alarming rate. The rate picked up very rapidly and soon we were seeing dozens of meteors every second", Mike Jones of Shelton, wrote to NASA in 2002 about his memories of the 1996 Leonid meteor shower. He watched the storm from the Army's primary flight school at Fort Wolters near Mineral Wells, Texas.
