Just Curious if anyone else saw the meteorite Friday night after the Star Party? Rob and I were the last ones at Wheeler Farm packing up. It went from strait up, down through the Big Dipper to the North West, it was fast about 1/2 sec bright yellow-white streak about 8 magnitude in the middle with a little flash at the end. Very Cool to see.

Jamie, sounds pretty cool, unfortunately I didn't see it. A "meteorite" is the rock or iron piece that has struck the earth. A "meteor" is the streak you see in the sky. On Sun, Jul 20, 2014 at 9:32 PM, Jamie Bradley <astro@jamiebradley.com> wrote:

Other than me leaving the - of the 8 for magnitude (-8), the streak was brighter than the flash at the end it faded in and then out with a gap between the end of the streak and the flash, kind of like an exclamation mark (!).
