See it! The weekend’s meteor showers


Ken Christison wrote on November 17, 2018: “I caught a nice fireball this morning while shooting the Antares launch from my yard in northeastern North Carolina.”

Veteran meteor photographer Eliot Herman in Tucson, Arizona called this year’s Leonid shower “a treasure hunt.” Yes, they were sparse, he said, but he caught some. Of this particular catch, he wrote: “Created a smoke trail that persisted for about 5 minutes. The first image after meteor flash is shown.”
