Scientific paper

THIS afternoon, at 5.27 p.m., I observed here a meteor of great brilliancy, a note of which may be worth publishing. The moon, within three days of being full, was shining unclouded, and the western sky was still glowing with the fading tints of another gorgeous cloud-glow, when a bright light caused me to look up. It was due to a bright meteor a few degrees south of and below the moon. Its path was about 20° in length between south-east and south, inclined at an angle, roughly speaking, of 10° to the horizon, its mean altitude being probably 20°. Three minutes later, at 5.30 p.m., I heard a low, distant, rumbling sound, which was not improbably the report of its explosion.
