"One of the greatest meteor showers of our lifetime may - or may not - soon light up the night sky. The annual Leonid shower, which comes every November, can produce a spectacular "meteor" storm about every 33 years. That time is now approaching. But no one can say whether we are in for an awesome spectacle or nothing unusual. The last great Leonid storm hit the Earth in 1966. For nearly an hour the sky blazed from horizon to horizon with thousands of shooting stars per minute. Astronomers predict it could happen again in November 1999 or perhaps 2000."
