thread_title:  no film footage from 1966 storm? 

message: I read years ago (source forgotten) that the 1833 Leonid shower played a role in the 
2nd Great Awakening.  From dates in that article, 1833 is a too late for a causative
role in the 2nd, and far too early for the 3rd.  
The same forgotten source mentioned that it was the first historically recorded time that people 
could intuitively sense the motion of the earth through space, because the rate was so 
great as to remind one of walking into a snow flurry.
Does anyone have information on these topics to add to this article?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.165.65.171 (talk) 02:47, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

message: "Leonids in particular are well known for having bright meteors or fireballs which may be 9 mm across and have 85 g of mass..."
Am I missing something, or does that give them a density of around 100g/cm^3? That would seem unlikely. --GenericBob (talk) 14:58, 16 November 2012 (UTC)

message: "Their proper Greek name should be Leontids (Λεοντίδαι, Leontídai), but the word was initially constructed as a Greek/Latin hybrid[citation needed] and it has been used since."  Why would their name be Greek?  All of the other meteor showers have Latin names.  Of course in some cases the Latin and Greek forms are the same, since the Latin form of many Greek names is simply a direct transliteration; but even then they're treated as Latin in form and grammar.  I don't think this sentence is relevant to the article.  P Aculeius (talk) 03:28, 13 December 2014 (UTC)

message: Hi, all. Is :File:Trouvelot- The November meteors. - 1868.jpg a (tinted) photograph or something non-photographic? And what is the explanation for the sudden change in course of one of the meteors and the wiggly paths described by some of the others? — President Lethe (talk) 01:22, 23 April 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: I fixed the url of the original source and I notice it is labeled in the "Trouvelot astronomical drawings: Atlas." collection. So it's a drawing of some kind. Reports of spiraling meteors go way back and continue in modern times but have never been positively photographed as such that I have heard of. There has been the suggestion of a spinning meteor that also throws stuff off - that could look like spiraling. Exploding  meteors could look like a meteor that bounces but again none have ever been heard of really doing this - just an appearance of things or an impression given. --Smkolins (talk) 16:26, 23 April 2015 (UTC)

message: I was excited to see the 2022 ZHR predicted to be so high and I went to verify it and found some conflicting statements about it. Currently, the table predicts a ZHR of 250-300, apparently based on the work of Mikhail Maslov, but this one predicts 50-200. Other pages have predicted ZHRs of only 10-15. Is there a reason this page goes with the highest predicted number? TornadoLGS (talk) 02:46, 20 July 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Try to think about conflict of interest and what if a high ZHR would suggest the ongoing collapse of the magnetic field which official space agencies (such as the ESA) are trying to suppress 178.235.190.11 (talk) 21:42, 17 November 2022 (UTC)
