| Observer | |

| Name | Jeff B |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | I don't have time to watch the sky for meteor showers like I used to, however, I have been learning about the universe since I was a young boy. Daily indulge myself with new technology news and scientific research from NASA / SpaceX and CERN. Also, I have a good understanding of quantum mechanics, gravitational lensing and other effects caused by laws of physics and physics yet understood. Email me and I will send you a picture of my exact vantage point. It was the closest fireball I have seen continue to burn so close to the horizon. Thanks, Jeff B. |
