1966 Leonids: Recollections
Although astronomers do not expect this year's Leonid meteor shower to reach the same intensity as in 1966, the 1966 display certainly deserves extra attention as it was one of the strongest meteor storms in history. Although three decades have passed, there are plenty of people who still have very strong recollections of the 1966 display, which occurred during the early morning hours of November 17. Here are a few that have been sent to the Author.
- Dave Seibert (Mississippi)
- Ed Cunnius (Texas)
- Susan Hensz (Texas)
- Don Pearson (Arizona)
- James W. Young (Table Mountain Observatory, California)
- Toshiyuki Ishikawa (just off coast of Baja California in Pacific)
