174 years ago in November, a spectacular meteor shower.

But what occurred when the Leonids returned in 1833 was far beyond what anyone had ever seen or even imagined possible. For several hours over the United States there was a continual blaze of thousands and thousands of meteors at a time. One estimate was that over 240,000 meteors fell during that period, so many meteors in the sky at a time that many people were woken from their beds and stared at the sky in panic, believing the sky to be on fire. Many feared that it was the end of the world and dreaded what they would see at daybreak.
