A REMARKABLE meteor appeared in the eastern sky this evening at about 8.30. Coming out of Cetus it travelled slowly towards Orion, being visible for five or six seconds. The head was rounded in front, about one-eighth of a degree wide, tapering backwards to the length of half a degree, distinctly bluish in colour, and leaving an indistinct trail of about twice its own length behind it. It was so bright and seemed so near that I took it at first for a firework of some kind. But it was undoubtedly a meteor. It died out silently, and without breaking up, at about 15° from the horizon.
