Note the *multiple* meteors, 5 of them (3 near the radiant, near Zeta-Leo, within Leo's Sickle). (Also, check out the 6x7 105mm shot taken at this time, which shows 8 near-radiant meteors). This near-radiant area obviously had an meteor-activity "burst". Observers world-wide noted such "clustering" effect, where many meteors were observed in quick-succession in a localized-area. Note the VERY bright fireball near Zeta-Leo, with the 2-pronged (bifurcated) debris-trail. (See 85mm section for images with better image-scale). I actually saw it naked-eye, which had a very yellowish-glow & distinctive "effect" (integration of light over a small area, due to fore-shortened meteor-path). |
