Tempel-Tuttle is a comet that orbits the Sun approximately every 33 years. It was discovered in 1865 by the astronomers Hermann Alexander Tempel and William R. Tuttle. This comet is particularly interesting because its orbit brings it close to Earth, making it visible to skywatchers during its appearances. One of the most fascinating aspects of Tempel-Tuttle is its connection to the Leonids meteor shower. Each November, Earth passes through the debris left behind by the comet, resulting in a spectacular display of shooting stars. This shower is known for its bright meteors and can produce hundreds of meteors per hour during peak activity.
