Leonid Meteor Storm of 1833 | Edmund Weiß | 1888

Leonid Meteor Storm Over North America, 1833. Painted by E. Weiß, published 1888, from Bilderatlas der Sternenwelt.

This vivid 19th century illustration captures the extraordinary Leonid Meteor Storm of November 12–13, 1833, one of the most spectacular astronomical events ever recorded. E. Weiß depicts thousands of radiant meteors cascading across the night sky above a dramatic waterfall, conveying both the awe and cosmic magnitude of the phenomenon. Rendered with scientific clarity and atmospheric intensity, it remains a defining visual record of a celestial spectacle that transformed public interest in astronomy.
