Reports Report 1130am (Event 1130-2023)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Joy S |
| Experience Level | 5/5 |
| Remarks | I'm not sure how to put my experience. I have a B.S. in astronomy-physics and work at STScI as a Science Support Analyst, but I also don't have more than casual/amateur astronomer meteorite viewing experience. Also, the time and location were approximate, but we were driving on route 70 approximately 2/3rds of the way home between Hagerstown and Windsor Mill, MD. This is normally an hour-long drive and we left Hagerstown at ~5:55pm so I estimated our location on route 70. |
