Thank you!! >Jodi Weber >jodiweber@attmail.com or jweber@cbnewsg.cb.att.com The Leonids are an annual meteor shower. In those years, and more recently, the meteor intensity was very high, hundreds per minute. I forget which time of year they occur, somebody on sci.astro should help you there. The increase in intensity is due to non-uniformity of the meteor stream, it is highly dens near the location of the parent comet, whose name I forget too. Again, try sci.astro
