Scientific paper

IN a recent valuable paper entitled ``A Study of Meteor Light Curves''1, Miss Dorrit Hoffleit has studied the relative changes in brightness along the paths of fifty meteors, photographed at the Harvard College Observatory. In the course of this investigation it was found that ``a statistical relation exists between the fraction of the photographed path at which maximum brightness occurs and the velocity at which the meteor strikes the earth's atmosphere, namely, the greater the velocity, the nearer to the vanishing point does the meteor become brightest''.
