I have just seen an hour or so ago a beautiful
fireball 2 times as bright as jupiter passing the sky
from Orion's constellation. I was teaching my younger
brother the constellations (we learnt Orion, Canis
Major/Minor, and Auriga- he picked up the
constellation very well).
I suddonly saw the fireball, and it was in the middle
of it's flight, I was amazed but quickly moved my
brother's head toward the firball. It was about 4
seconds long fireball.
If it's 2 times as bright as jupiter, can it be called
a fireball?
