Genie? Ya lost me. You said:

Leonid meteor shower always lasts about 4 to 5 days, with at least 2 days of peak activity. I'd imagine the Leonid is similar, though I don't know for sure.

What happened this morning,though, was a "meteor storm" within the Perseid meteor shower. That's passed and is not expected to happen again for a century.


Question: the Leonid is similmar to the Leonid meteor shower?:-)

Accordingto the StarDate site, the only Perseid happening was back in August. It is the Leonid which will not come around again for almost a century.

If you meant to make a distinction between "storm" and "shower" that would make more sense.*bg*
