Scientific paper

YESTERDAY afternoon, whilst standing on the lawn of the Observatory with my back to the sun, which was brightly shining, I saw a splendid meteor fall in the south-east. The sky at the time was of an intense blue and cloudless, with the exception of a few cirri in the north and north-west, and the meteor as seen against it presented the appearance of polished silver. The flight of the meteor was almost vertical at an altitude of about 30°, its extent was about 10°, and the trail which seemed to hang in the air and fade away like the trail of a rocket, was at the instant of explosion probably 3° in length. There was no report accompanying its disruption, or it would certainly have been heard, the neighbourhood being very still at the time.
