Leonid Meteors Streak
The 2004 Leonids meteor shower had its moments, even if average rates were lower than expected. At least two unexpected 'mini-outbursts' of several bright meteors were reported. This bright Leonid meteor was captured by a Night Sky Live camera over Kitt Peak National Observatory during one such outburst on November 19.
