Thursday, November 21, will be the night to keep your eyes on the sky if you'd like to see what might be a great show in the heavens.

American and Finnish scientists believe this meteor shower, which we haven't seen since 1995, may produce 100 to 1,000 meteors in an hour.

Beginning around 11:15 tonight, the meteor outburst could last from 15 to 40 minutes.

The best viewing of this meteor shower will come in the eastern U.S. and Canada.
