⌛ It's another Throwback Thursday, y'all! On this date, Nov. 12, 1799, the first known record of a meteor shower in North America was documented from the deck of a ship in the Florida Keys. But, here's the crazy part: The wrong person has often been credited, Andrew Ellicott Douglass, an astronomer born in 1867 — 68 years after the Leonids put on its historically spectacular show in the Keys. The real observer of the 1799 Leonids meteor shower was Andrew Ellicott, a surveyor in Florida on assignment from President George Washington to determine the official boundary line between the United States and Spanish territory as negotiated in the Treaty of San Lorenzo. Here’s his journal entry from Nov. 12 . Fun personal fact: I once lived on Ellicott Street in Tampa's Southeast Seminole Heights district. It's widely considered to be named after Andrew, but that hasn't been confirmed. While Ellicott surveyed the southern boundary between the United States and Spanish Florida along the 31st parallel, he never lived in Tampa. 🫡 Looking back at Leesburg's Veterans Day Parade Check out our gallery here. 📰 News of today that you can use It will be sooooo much nicer here: East
