Here is another depiction of the Leonid Meteor Storm, pictured in E. Weiß's Bilderatlas der Sternenwelt (1888).

On November 12, 1833, there was a meteor shower so intense that it was possible to see up to 100,000 meteors crossing the sky every hour. At the time, many thought it was the end of the world, so much so that it inspired this woodcut by Adolf Vollmy.
