“Leonids Above Torre de la Guaita” is copyrighted by Juan Carlos Casado. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteThe Leonids meteor shower of 1999 peaked with a storm of over a thousand meteors per hour, captured here above Torre de la Guaita in Spain. This 20-minute exposure shows the streaks of meteors as Earth passed through the debris trail of comet 55P/Tempel-Tuttle. These annual meteors originate from dust grains shed by the comet.
