Meteor

Abstract

AT about 5.50 P.M. to-day I saw a most brilliant meteor fall quite close to the moon, which was shining brightly at the time: it was in full daylight, shortly after the sun had gone down. Its direction was nearly perpendicular, but inclined a little from north to south as it fell. It was of a bright green colour; its motion rapid, its path long, and the time during which it was visible about two seconds, and it left no visible trace behind it.
