100 Perseids seen over Leeds in 1901

 

The Perseids this year may have been affected by the Full Moon but over 100 years ago they were lots  being seen over Leeds.

Joseph H Elgie FRAS saw 100 meteors on the night of August 11th 1901, from his home in Leeds. 


In 1914 Elgie published 'The Stars, Night by Night' a review of the night sky
