Observer
Name Anthony M
Experience Level 4/5
Remarks The fireball was brighter than Jupiter currently visible in the field of view. The path was across the constellation Taurus from an area near the Pleiades cluster through the constellation Auriga. The brightness fluctuated and the thickness of the streak was apparently around 4-5 times wider than Jupiter’s current image appeared to the naked eye.
