'Fireball' Like Meteor Shower To Light Up The Sky This Weekend

CHICAGO (CBS)-- Take a peak out of your window this weekend to see the first meteor shower of 2020.

The shower will peak Friday night into early Saturday morning.

It happens every January and comes from leftover asteroid particles.

Known for its fireball qualities, the large explosions of light and color last longer than typical meteor streaks.

NASA said it's considered one of the best annual meteor showers.
