After the months of July and August, November is famed for its meteoric howers, or as they are commonly called shooting stars." The phenomenon is caused by small cosmic bodies floating in space; and which approach at times the earth's atmosphere. They then blaze up for a few seconds by the friction of the air, and either pulverize or fall to the ground as meteorites. Two of these showers may be observed November, one in the Leonids from 33th-15th, and the other in the Andromedids from the.17th-22nd.
