Re: Fireball48 Alert: Fireball Over the United Kingdom

Lucky to see the termination phase of this. I was a passenger in a car in City Road St Andrews. The bolide seemed to be moving from SE to NW, quite low (seen through windscreen) and appeared to break apart into a line of bright falling points, over the hills south of St Andrews.

Crescent Venus and moon

Hi all

That picture of the two crescents has me confused. Is it a crescent old moon and this picture was taen at dawn? Was it a crescent new moon seen upside down and inverted - as in astronomical telescope? Maybe I'm just thick! Someone please tell me how it works!
