Reports Report 5114ac (Event 5114-2022)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Matthew W |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | Whilst probably unremarkable, I have seen the perseids a number of times but have never seen a meteor anywhere near as bright or "big" as this one. This might be because I am usually near a city, whereas on this occasion I was near a popular astronomy spot. Fireball was the only word I could think of to describe it, which is how I ended up finding out this website (after googling the term). |
