Re: (meteorobs) Fireball mags...
I believe meteor trails are composed of stuff, the stuff that the
meteor was made up of. Probably water ice. Logically, I would think
that the bigger, brighter, and longer-lasting trails mean that the
meteor was big too.
I had a question myself: I heard about the discovery of mini-
comets(months ago, actually); I know their small and tiny, but what
is the apparent magnitude of them, for an observer standing at sea
level? A guess by me would be +20, but guesses are not scientific in
nature.
Jonathan, cloudy skies. Clear skies last night, though.
