Persistent trains often show two parallel bands of light, a morphology that until now has been interpreted as due to a tubular structure and a phenomenon called `limb brightening'. A problem with this interpretation is that the brightness between the two bands is less than expected. A recent study of meteoroid breakup now shows that fragmentation often leads to the survival of two relatively large fragments. Here, we show that this can explain the dominant morphological features of persistent trains.
