During the morning of November 18, 2001, the Leonid meteor shower blazed away as predicted. The first photograph, clearly showing 2 bright Leonids passing by the constellation Orion, was taken by Mark Pogany from Indian Hill Observatory.

The 4 remaining photos were taken by Jim Brownfield from his house in Huntsburg. Those wispy clouds in 2 of the photos are the "trains" left by the brightest of meteors. The wispy remnants of a meteor dissipate over a few seconds/minutes in the upper Earth's atmosphere.
