I mentioned on my blog that the Leonids were peaking a few days ago, but it was cloudy and rainy here, so I didn’t get a chance to see any. Neither did Bad Astronomy blogger Phil Plait, but he has an excellent post with a link to a great all sky video. The astronomers had a fisheye lens connected to a video camera which ran all night, and shows some really incredible meteors, mostly before dawn. It included one that obviously left a luminous trail that took over an hour to dissipate. Good stuff.
