Reports Report 4011b (Event 4011-2026)

Observer
Name Nathan B
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks That was awesome to witness. I’m sitting up on my roof captivated by Jupiter and Venus coming together on this beautiful quiet night and a slow fiery shooting star crosses the sky!! I had a small chance to snap a photo but it caught me off guard! Unreal. I wish I could send you a photo of the night sky I’m looking at and draw in the fireball/shooting star.
