I haven’t seen anything this year (but I’ve not left the city,either).
Wikipedia describes this old woodcut: "The most famous depiction of the 1833 actually produced in 1889 for the Adventist book Bible Readings for the Home Circle - the engraving is by Adolf Vollmy based upon an original painting by the Swiss artist Karl Jauslin, that is in turn based on a first-person account of the 1833 storm by a minister, Joseph Harvey Waggoner on his way from Florida to New Orleans."
There are a few spectacular shots of the Leonid meteors this year — got one you want to share?
Peak night was supposed to be November 17. Astronomy Magazine’s website holds out some hope that you might catch a few shooting stars on November 18. It’s worth a look, if you’ve got skies.
Next up: Geminids, with a peak night of December 13, 2011.
