A Leonid Meteor Explodes
NASA APOD
COSMIC MESSAGE
Tonight, Earth will pass unusually close to debris from Comet Tempel-Tuttle, causing a surge in the Leonids meteor shower. This image captures a bright Leonid meteor from the 1998 shower, known for its many brilliant fireballs. The phenomenon occurs as sand-sized particles from the comet enter and burn up in Earth's atmosphere. This year's shower promises particularly high activity.
