The meteor storm, is soon to hit the Earth again, and this time space scientists are concerned about its effects. Every one of the 600-odd satellites orbiting the Earth will be hit by ultra-high-speed meteor dust. The storm of meteors, called Leonid meteors because they come from the direction of constellation Leo, will be the first to hit Earth since 1966 when the world's space programs were in their infancy, and its effects on satellite systems are uncertain.
