seems to be crashing to Earth. The Heavens on Fire vividly tells the history of
meteors, especially the spectacular Leonid showers. Publication coincides with
the peak activity in mid-November 1999, when swarms of a thousand meteors an
hour may be seen. The great founding scientists, the history of meteors, and the
dangers posed to Earth are all lucidly introduced. Advice is also given on how
to make the best of the forthcoming Leonid shower.
