NASA DC-8 (over the Atlantic Ocean) Nov. 17 |
#1, video | G. Varros: "This is a bright Leonid meteor, perhaps brighter than the moon, imaged from the NASA DC-8 during the Leonid MAC Campaign, using the Meteor Tracker developed by George Varros. After a brilliant flash, the meteor reappears before burning out. The train was visible for at least 4 minutes. Courtesy George Varros and Dr. Peter Jenniskens. Special thanks to all the people at NASA Dryden who made the mission such a big success! " |

#1 | B. Whittaker: "Here is a photo of a Leonid that I took out of an airplane window this morning at about 4:10 AM GMT. It was hard to judge, but I guess that rates got up to about 1 every 10 seconds for several minutes. I'm guessing, with my limited view, that it peaked about 4:50 AM GMT from the North Atlantic." |
