Image description

Disappointed astronomy enthusiasts from Melbourne discuss the Leonid meteorite shower at dawn on the outskirts of Melbourne November 18. Billed as the greatest show of meteorite activity in more than three decades, the blaze of cosmic dust burning up in the earth's atmosphere failed to display in the glory predicted in the northeast of Melbourne. In 1833 and 1966 the Leonids had peaks of 150,000 to 240,000 meteors in an hour which created an unprecedented light show. WB/JJ/SB
