In
1999,
there was a sharp peak in the number of meteors during the Leonids
Meteor Shower, in
Europe. This specific picture is a 20-minute
exposure ending just before the main Leonids peak began, on November
18. Seeable here are at least five Leonid meteors streaking above the
Torre de la Guaita, an observation tower used during the 12th century
in Girona, Spain. 2014 has a large amount of meteor activity, with
the Leonids meteor shower peaking again, as well as a stream of
debris left over from Comet Tempel-Tuttle.
