“1998 Leonid Fireball” is copyrighted by Lorenzo Lovato. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteThis Leonid fireball streaked across the skies of Monteromano, Italy, on November 17, 1998, captured through light clouds. It was part of a dazzling show, even if it wasn't the meteor storm many had hoped for. The Leonids occur yearly when Earth passes through dust left by Comet Tempel-Tuttle.
