A movie of 19 55P/Tempel-Tuttle images taken when the comet only 0.36 Astronomical Units, or 33 million miles, from Earth and moving at just over 6 degrees per day.
Jonathan Shanklin from Cambridge, England, reported his sighting of comet 55P/Tempel-Tuttle on January 16, 1998:
The telescope has a focal length of 80 cm (32 inches) and an unusually large primary mirror 20 inches in diameter (f/1.6) (though the effective aperture is reduced to about 15 inches (f/2.1) by the unavoidable obstruction caused by the second mirror).

Comet 55P/1997 E1 (Tempel-Tuttle) had been recovered on CCD frames obtained on March 4 with the 10-metre Keck Telescope at Mauna Kea (Hawaii) by Karen Meech and her collaborators.
Comet Tempel-Tuttle has a period of 33.2 years and the earliest recorded observations which can be associated with it, were made in October 1366 by Chinese, Japanese and Korean astronomers.
Comet Tempel-Tuttle will come within 0.356 AU (53.3 million km) of the Earth on January 17, 1998, just before it passes it perihelion on February 28 at a distance of 0.977 AU (146.1 million km) from the Sun.

 The Leonids
However, every 33¼ years, Comet 55P/Tempel-Tuttle sweeps by and replenishes the region with debris, thereby leading to some spectacular showers (see Highlights in the History of the Leonids).
The meteors radiate from Leo, the zodiac constellation associated with the astrological sign of the lion for those born in August.
The radiant point of the shower is in the "sickle" of Leo at a right ascension of 10h 14m and a declination of +22 degrees.

 2003 Leonid Meteor Shower
The shower occurs as the Earth crosses the path of debris and material left behind by the comet 55P/Tempel-Tuttle.
In 2003, the Leonid meteor shower peaks on November 13 (dust trail encounter) and November 19.
The shower normally displays about 10-20 meteors an hour over a period of six to seven days, with the peak occurring on or around November 17.

 Master & Deceiver - Nikolai Tolstoy - Patrick O' Brian
He had built up his collection before and during the war, when the most remarkable works could be obtained at knock-down prices — his first edition of Voltaire's Candide cost him all of 10/6d (55p) — and a wall was lined with rows of magnificent leather-bound volumes.
Naturally I was aware from the outset of my stepfather's change of name from Russ to O'Brian (my mother had after all been Mrs Russ for a fortnight), but apart from that I knew little of his life prior to his meeting my mother.
Patrick was standing in the doorway just behind her in the characteristic pose he always adopted on such occasions, hands clasped before his chest, holding his head on one side and smiling shyly.
