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.
