Star Showers of the Century Fireworks of November Meteors
A historic account recalls the notable meteor shower first recorded on November 17 1700 witnessed by Humboldt in South America. Writers Touplani and others note the vast display described as three moon diameters wide and lasting through several hours, with observers across North America frightened into believing the end of the world. Similar events followed in 1866, and the author predicts another display around 1900, with expectations tied to atmospheric clarity.
