Scientific paper
ABOUT 10.50 P.M. on the night of Monday, the 16th inst., the sky being cloudless and the young moon just setting, I observed a remarkable meteor in the northern heavens. It originated near to the star γ Cephei, and travelled towards the eastern horizon, its path forming an angle of about 35° with the perpendicular. The head, two or three times as large and bright as Venus, was bluish, and left a trail of yellowish light. I took it at first for a falling rocket, whose ascent I had not noticed; but its transient existence, its sudden extinction without noise or sparks, and the straightness of its path, with only a slight zig-zag, but no curve, preclude that explanation I think.
