Fallen stars

Leonids - 1833, by Adolf Wollmy, 1844. | Imagine being there ! “On the night of November 12-13, 1833, a tempest of falling stars broke over the Earth... The sky was scored in every direction with shining tracks and illuminated with majestic fireballs. At Boston, the frequency of meteors was estimated to be about half that of flakes of snow in an average snowstorm (…) during the nine hours they continued to fall.” - Agnes Clerke's, Victorian Astronomy Writer
