Abstract

ON Feb. 24, at 20h 41m G.M.T., a brilliant fireball passed over West Lancashire from south to north and was observed by many persons who have communicated their observations to me. I did not myself see the object, as I was in the Observatory exposing a plate for experimental purposes on the nebula in Orion, but I noticed the sudden brilliant illumination of the sky and the interior of the Observatory, and made a note of the time. On developing the plate next morning I found that the trail of the meteor was recorded on it, as shown on the accompanying print (Fig. 1).
