Colorado astrophotographer Gary Emerson captured the fury of the great 1966 Leonid meteor storm, the most spectacular storm of the 20th Century. This image was taken over 20 minutes and records only the brightest meteors. At the storm's peak, Emerson says he saw thousands of meteors per second. "It was one hell of a show," he said.
