A meteor shower<\/strong> is a celestial event in which a number of meteors are observed to radiate, or originate, from one point in the night sky. These meteors are caused by streams of cosmic debris called meteoroids entering Earth’s atmosphere at extremely high speeds on parallel trajectories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most meteors<\/strong> are smaller than a grain of sand, so almost all of them disintegrate and never hit the Earth’s surface<\/strong>. Very intense or unusual meteor showers are known as meteor outbursts and meteor storms, which produce at least 1,000 meteors an hour, most notably from the Leonids.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Historical developments<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The first great meteor storm in the modern era was the Leonids of November 1833. One estimate is a peak rate of over one hundred thousand meteors an hour,[4] but another, done as the storm abated, estimated in excess of two hundred thousand meteors during the 9 hours of storm, over the entire region of North America east of the Rocky Mountains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

American Denison Olmsted (1791\u20131859) <\/strong>explained the event most accurately. After spending the last weeks of 1833 <\/strong>collecting information, he presented his findings in January 1834 <\/strong>to the American Journal of Science and Arts, published in January\u2013April 1834<\/strong>, and January 1836<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
