Hundreds of years after meteor showers were first observed, these cosmic spectacles are still delivering scientific clues to researchers on Earth.
Why it matters: Meteors bring information about their parentasteroids and comets, which carry evidence of the solar system's history and help scientists to study the origins of Earth and other planets.
Look up to the sky and set your alarm: The last total lunar eclipse until 2025takes place early Tuesday.
The big picture: The hours for when the eclipse will be visible vary by time zone, but the weekend's end of daylight saving time means the Sun rises earlier.
