Abstract
THE BRIGHT METEOR OF APRIL 30.—Mr. Harrison Hill, of Abbey Road, N.W., writes to say that he also observed the brilliant meteor which was seen, as reported in these columns last week, by the Rev. T. E. R. Phillips. At midnight on April 30 Mr. Hill's attention was arrested by a sudden and bright light, which appeared to be a large star, in the S.W. sky. This object increased rapidly in size and apparent brightness, and then disappeared. Although Mr. Hill has frequently observed “shooting stars,” this meteor especially impressed him by reason of its lack of apparent motion and its exceeding brightness.
