Hi All,
Saw a surprising but lovely sight tonight in the north Austin, TX area. I was driving home from the store, and despite the big, near full moon and bright construction lights nearby I watched a really big fireball streak across the sky! It was in the northern sky, almost starting from the Gemini area and left a sparkly, broken-up trail behind it. Geminid, maybe?
Anyway, just lovely and must have been quite a decent size given the surrounding light pollution and the fact that it was so big and bright!
Clear Skies,
Phil
