Summary[edit]
| Description |
This meteor was captured when my camera was set up on automatic to take a series of shots. Tonight I only captured this one meteor. I set the camera on auto and went inside to warm up. I wish I had been outside watching but didn't really expect to capture any meteors much less this fabulous exploder! You never know! When meteors appear to explode in a ball of light that reaches a magnitude brighter than the moon (-14) it is called a Bolide. I believe this one exceeds a magnitute of -14. There were actually a few ice crystals on the lens but the image came out fairly nicely. You can see Orion to the left. The tail of the meteor is passing right through the center of Taurus. The very bright "star" is actually the planet Jupiter. Pleiades is to the right. |
