A video captured on a vehicle's dashboard camera shows what's believed to be a meteor falling from the sky over Florida this week. In the video, which was taken by Drew McKinley and shared to social media on Tuesday, Nov. 11, the bright object − often referred to as a "shooting star" − is seen heading toward the ground as it continues to burn.

Of the three November meteor showers, Leonids should be the most active. It is fed by the Tempel-Tuttle Comet, which can produce some dense debris clouds, resulting in very strong showers. Leonids is set to peak on Nov. 16-17.

If the hypothetical Taurid resonant swarm does occur, it will make a close flyby of Earth in 2032 and 2036. During those years, Earth could experience a higher impact risk from the Taurid meteor shower. Luckily, we have enough time to observe these dense clusters and come up with ways to mitigate the damage from a potential strike.

Collecting meteorites on Earth is often described as the cheapest form of space exploration. Scientists now have over five times as much Moon rock from meteorites than was returned by the Apollo missions, and with a greater diversity of rock types, providing insights into parts of the Moon that astronauts never sampled.
