Back in the 1800s the Leonids produced a literal rain of meteors that astounded the world. They haven't been that spectacular since, but in 1966, up to 40 meteors per second were seen for about an hour! 1999 is a good year to watch for a possible repeat of this performance. Best chance of observing a meteor storm: the early morning hours of November 18, 1999.
