"What highly symbolic term refers to a meteor typically defined as ""a meteor brighter than any of the planets""?"
Chelyabinsk meteor Chelyabinsk meteor The Chelyabinsk meteor was a superbolide caused by an approximately near-Earth asteroid that entered Earth's atmosphere over Russia on 15 February 2013 at about 09:20 YEKT (03:20 UTC), with a speed of 19.16 ± 0.15 kilometres per second (60,000–69,000 km/h or 40,000–42,900 mph). It quickly became a brilliant superbolide meteor over the southern Ural region. The light from the meteor was brighter than the Sun, visible up to away. It was observed over a wide area of the region and in neighbouring republics. Some eyewitnesses also felt intense heat from the fireball. Due to its high velocity and
Meteor shower to the term "meteor shower" when it was first realised that, during the November 1833 storm, the meteors radiated from near the star Gamma Leonis. The last Leonid storms were in 1999, 2001 (two), and 2002 (two). Before that, there were storms in 1767, 1799, 1833, 1866, 1867, and 1966. When the Leonid shower is not "storming", it is less active than the Perseids. Official names are given in the International Astronomical Union's list of meteor showers. Any other solar system body with a reasonably transparent atmosphere can also have meteor showers. As the Moon is in the neighborhood of
