(CNN) In the early morning hours on Tuesday, the Leonid meteor shower will send shooting stars across the sky. Meteors can be harder to see when there is a bright moon, but fortunately the moon will only be 5% visible, according to the American Meteor Society . The meteor shower is expected to peak on November 16 and 17. The Leonids will be most visible from the Northern Hemisphere , but you can also view them from the Southern Hemisphere. The diminutive Comet Tempel-Tuttle, the parent body of the Leonids, will cross Earth's orbit, creating a vaporizing shower of debris in the atmosphere.
