A bright meteor chases through the constellation of Pegasus. It is probably a Taurid originating from comet Encke. Earth is crossing a field of dust particles in the end of October and beginning of November, where comet Encke left some debris behind.
In spite of the weak camera used, the meteor left a bright trail. Apparently, it fell apart two times producing bright flashes.
