Abstract
Without doubt, the Leonid stream is the most famous of all the known meteoroid streams. The reason for this is not hard to find, the display of meteors that it produces at times far surpassess anything that any other shower can produce. The showers of 1799, 1833 and 1966 all have numerous engravings or photographs recording the splendidness of the displays. The recorded history of the appearances of spectacular Leonid displays dates back for two millenia. Though the associated parent comet, 55/P Tempel-Tuttle, was only discovered in 1861.
