Leonid Meteors in 2002
Explanation:
All during today, APOD will be posting the best images of the
Leonid Meteor Shower
as seen by the wide-angle digital cameras perched around the
world as part of the
Night Sky Live (NSL) Project.
The
main APOD site will be updated several times with
topical information and new images.
Pictured above, to start, is an image from
last year's Leonids taken with the
NSL camera in
Israel.
The diffuse glow on the upper left will be mostly
gone from that camera's images this year, because the town of
Mitzpe Ramon has agreed to dim its lights.
