It was absolutely stunning and I wish I recorded it but I was scared to look away or it would fade like other comets I’ve seen have. It was truly remarkable and the fragmentation was easily the coolest part of the whole thing. I really hope others saw it too!!!

The trail increased from 1 degree and faded about 2 seconds after the meteor passed growing to about 10-13 degrees.
