It was a night of 100,000 meteors. The Great Meteor Storm of 1833 was perhaps the most impressive meteor event in recent history. Best visible over eastern North America during the pre-dawn hours of November 13, many people, including a young Abraham Lincoln, were woken up to see the sky erupt in streaks and flashes. Hundreds of thousands of meteors blazed across the sky, seemingly pouring out of the constellation of the Lion (Leo). This image is a digitization of a wood engraving which itself was based on a painting from a first-person account. We know today that the Great Meteor Storm of 1833 was caused by the Earth moving through a dense part of the dust trail expelled from Comet Tempel-Tuttle. The Earth moves through this dust stream every November during the Leonid meteor shower. Later this week you might get a slight taste of the intensity of that 1833 meteor storm by witnessing the annual Geminid meteor shower. #history #cosmos #sky #art #leo

Idk who needs to hear this

But communication shouldn't be things that just come out of your mouth off the cuff or something you think the other person wants to hear. If you are forth coming there won't be a need for you to test the person you're trying to get to know. That's narcissistic and in most cases not appreciated... (edited)
