Explanation:
"Goodness, Gracious, Green Balls Of Fire!", might have been an
appropriate theme song title for
the 1998 Leonid meteor shower.
Many observers, like astrophotographer Steve Dunn watching from
Cape Canaveral, Florida, USA, reported that
a lot of the characteristically bright Leonid meteors had
a greenish tint.
Around 6:00 AM EST on November 17, he photographed this
dazzling Leonid fireball leaving a striking
green-to-white trail against a
background of stars in
the constellation Coma Bernices.
Dunn comments that he considers himself a green novice observer,
but is now anticipating next
November's appearance of
the Leonids shower.
