COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (Reuters) - A meteor storm next month will be the most intense in more than 30 years, posing some threat to spacecraft such as communications satellites, the U.S. Space Command said. "The Nov. 17 Leonid meteor storm will present an elevated, though not serious, threat to spacecraft in the vicinity of Earth for about half a day," the agency said. The Leonid shower takes place every year, but this year`s will be more intense and could provide a dramatic "light show" for some parts of the world, particularly in East Asia and the Western Pacific, the space command said. The Leonid meteors originate from debris released from the Comet Tempel-Tuttle which completes an orbit around the sun every 33 years. The comet had its closest approach to the sun early this year, setting the stage for the meteor storms this year and next. The meteors will disintegrate upon entering the earth`s atmosphere and pose no threat to aircraft or the earth`s surface.
