Leonids Metor Shower November 18, 2001

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"The Leonids are a prolific meteor shower associated with the comet Tempel–Tuttle. The Leonids get their name from the location of their radiant in the constellation Leo: the meteors appear to radiate from that point in the sky."

This one picture captured a fireball and was taken near Backridge Observatory near Spruce Knob, WV.  A group of us, including many staff from TMI, gathered to watch the shower that was estimated to be one of the best in decades.
