Astronomy Fun Fact:

Though the Leonid meteors have put on a show about every 33 years, we may not see another decent shower in our lifetimes. Jupiter will perturb comet Temple-Tuttle away from the Earth in 2029 and it may not be until the latter part of the 21st century or the early stages of the 22nd century before the Leonids once again dominate the sky.
