Book Summary
Meteor succeeded meteor in such rapid succession that it was impossible to count
them; at times the sky seemed full of them, and the earth was illuminated as
with a morning light. Eye-witness accounts such as this, and every spectacular
detail of the Leonids, the greatest meteor showers of all, can be found in the
acclaimed The Heavens on Fire. In this volume, author Mark Littmann vividly
tells the history of meteors, and especially the Leonids, whose terrifying
beauty established meteor science. He traces the history and mythology of
meteors, profiles the fascinating figures whose discoveries advanced the field,
and explores how meteors have changed the course
