An unusual image of an "elve"
captured by M.J. Taylor and L.C. Gardner of the Space Dynamics
Lab., Utah State University, during the night of the Leonids storm at 02:10:00 UT.

This airglow image
by M.J. Taylor and L.C. Gardner shows regular and chaotic structure in the upper atmospheric OH nightglow emission layer (altitude ~87 km).
Joe Kristl and Mike Taylor of Space Dynamics Lab.
present a sequence of images of a near infrared meteor
observed with the NRL InGaAs camera flown on the FISTA aircraft.
This images shows the spectrum of a bright afterglow by
Jiri Borovicka. Another afterglow spectrum was obtained by
Peter Jenniskens/Mike Wilson. The
meteor was imaged from ARIA and occured at 04:00:29 UT.

NASA/Ames Astrobiology Academy student Matt Lacey, currently at Stanford University,
took this unusual spectrum of a
persistent train (raw data) of a not quite so
bright Leonid at 03:34:12 UT, some tens of seconds after the train formed.
