Reports Report 1134c (Event 1134-2017)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Betty H |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | The extreme brightness, and large size, was shocking, and the tail was very long compared to anything that I have seen as an observer for many (30+)years of meteor showers. I would grade it as a once in a lifetime occurrence, and I would put the experience up there with the excitement that I had when seeing Hayley's comet for the first time.Please let me know if others saw this.Thank you. |
