“A Leonids Meteor Storm in 1999” 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 1999 Leonids meteor shower brought a spectacular display, especially for observers in Europe and the Middle East. This six-minute exposure from Spain captures over a dozen faint meteors, appearing as green streaks radiating from the constellation Leo. While not as bright as some years, the sheer number of meteors created a memorable storm, with rates reaching a meteor every few seconds.
