I'd already decided that next time anyone on here referred to upcoming naked eye events such as meteor showers, eclipses of the moon, aurorae etc I'd stroppily point out that witnessing such events is banned under the East Midlands convention on clouded skies, which basically says that any interesting atsronomical events short of a Tunguska-magnitude direct hit on Nottingham are covered by a cloud induced super-injunction. Years of missing out had lead me to compose vituperative replies ready for the next time someone reported on something nice
But no, it turns out I was wrong! Poking my nose out just after 7.30 yesterday evening what do I see but a superb fireball complete with colour. Not only that but I was able to confirm I didn't dream it by checking other observations from various websites. So I take it all back, I've finally witnessed one of Nature's wonders from an East Midlands vantage point Mind you, they'll probably put my council tax up in revenge |
