110 Year Anniversary of first Meteor Photograph.

This photo is special to me as I hade it on the night of the 110 year anniversary of the first meteor to be photographed. On November 27, 1885, the first known photograph of a meteor, taken by Austro-Hungarian astronomer, Ladislaus Weinek, who caught a trail on a plate at his Prague observing station. I was thrilled to see I caught one on film, 110 years later on this Thanksgiving night.
