On November 12, 1833, there was a meteor shower so intense that it was possible to see up to 100,000 meteors crossing the sky every hour. At the time, many thought it was the end of the world. This woodcut by Adolf Vollmy was inspired by the event.

Wow!
Any idea if there are any similar events like this slated to happen in our lifetimes? Or too difficult for modern astronomical technology to predict?
