FIREBALL SIGHTINGS: On. Nov. 2nd, a fireball streaked over El Paso, Texas, and when it exploded in mid-air it was brighter than a full moon. Jim Gamble recorded the event using a low-light video camera:

Gamble's camera is one of many in the Sandia Meteor Detection Network. Equipped with a fisheye lens, it monitors the whole sky every night. "I've been doing this for five years now," says Gamble, "and there seems to be a marked increase in fireball activity [in the fall] of this year as compared to previous years."

The source of these fireballs may be the Taurid meteor shower, which peaks between Nov. 5th and 12th. So keep an eye on the sky. You might see something bright and wonderful: full story.
