Reports Report 1431c (Event 1431-2012)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Michael S |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | The shooting star seemed to be at least 50 miles up and moving more slowly than most shooting starts, and it seemed to be brighter than most shooting stars that I have seen. The New York area has lots of haze, so it was bright on a hazy blue moon night. I once lived near the Planetarium in Manhattan, and I grew up around NASA, so being on a night schedule for over 45 years, I always observe the night sky, when I am out. In February 1972, I visited Lanzarote in the Canary Islands, and that was the most stars at night that I ever saw. http://mikelouisscott.com/ http://mikelouisscottcom.cv.siteprotect.net/ |
