Scientific paper
MY observation at Ramsbury, near Hungerford, was to the effect that while watching the northern aurora, my attention was called, at ten minutes past six, to this monster meteor, then slowly approaching in a direct line to the moon, which was shining most brilliantly. It seemed to pass exactly over the disc, and reappeared on the side, much reduced in size, as if going away from us; and at a distance of about 6° from the moon, scarcely seemed to measure more than 5° in length, it being then about 6h. 8m., which corresponds with the position over Sidmouth at that time. It was very definite In form, like a torpedo. I estimated its length at 15°, and 3° in breadth. I hope to have a hand-made photograph of its appearance ready for publication, by the Autotype Company, in a few days, and on the same sheet is a hand-delineation of the great comet to the same scale.
