Timelapse night photography of the Leonid Meteor shower over Joshua Tree National Park. Shot between 12:30am and 5:00am on the morning of November 18, 2010.

Due to the brightness of the moon, it was difficult to see the showers until after it set, which was around 3:30am.

You’ll see a few meteors in the video: 0:06, 0:13, 0:14, 0:17, 0:29, 0:30.

There’s 2 meteors in the same frame at 0:29.

You’ll also notice the planet Venus rising over the horizon.

Enjoy!
