On November 12, 1833, there was a meteor shower so intense that it was possible to see up to 100,000 meteors crossing the sky every hour. At the time, many thought it was the end of the world, so much so that it inspired this woodcut by Adolf Vollmy.

In November 1833, there was an intense meteor storm as the Leonids showered the Earth, with up to 100,000 per hour crossing the night sky, an event so spectacular that the world took note. Many believed it was coming to an end. For every one of the next 32 years, the Leonids were quiet and modest, but nothing near the 1833 outburst. Then, in 1866, it happened again. Engraving By Adolf Vollmy.

El 12 de noviembre de 1833 se produjo una lluvia de meteoritos tan intensa que fue posible ver hasta 100.000 meteoros cruzando el cielo cada hora. En aquella época, muchos pensaron que era el fin del mundo, hasta el punto de que inspiró esta xilografía de Adolf Vollmy.

#Repost @misteriosdoespaco Você sabia que uma chuva de meteoros com tantos meteoros não é algo inédito na história? Pois é, a chuva Leonídeas, que acontece todos os anos no mês de novembro e pode proporcionar até 33 meteoros por hora, deu um surto em 1833 e a taxa subiu para 100.000 por hora - e foi até registrado nessa xilogravura de Adolf Vollmy. Na época, eram tantos meteoros que as pessoas achavam que o mundo estava acabando. Na noite desta segunda para terça-feira, pode acontecer algo semelhante ou igual. Não dá para afirmar que teremos tantos meteoros assim, mas se os cálculos se confirmarem, a taxa será de 10 mil e além. A tempestade deve acontecer em algum momento entre 23h e 3h BRT!
