Scientific paper

LAST night at about eleven o'clock a fine meteor was visible here through an opening in clouds. Its path was in Aquarius, commenced a little to the east of η, and seemed to be in the direction of a line joining η and δ. In three or four seconds the meteor passed over about 20°, and it left momentarily a trail over the last 10°. This was slightly curved, the convex side being to the east, and the colour varying from yellow for a quarter of the curve to red during the remainder. At first the meteor resembled Saturn in size and colour, then became larger, whiter, and afterwards pale blue, and when it finally disappeared behind the clouds it considerably exceeded Venus at her brightest, both in size and brilliance.
