Ed said, "I'm always amazed by how the plasma trail maintains its integrity
for so long."

This made me think of something new. The other day I was wondering if any
gas phosphoresced. [One definition of phosphoresce: an enduring luminescence
without sensible heat.] I never thought of a meteor train or the train
created by the shuttle as a phosphorescence but I suppose that it is.
