(meteorobs) AURORA OVER BEIJING! and visual meteor obs. on November 20/21, 2003



It was very surprising last night that aurora occurred over here, North
China. I think this is extremely rare since the geomagnetic latitude here is
so low! I saw a bright and slow Taurid with -2mag., lasting about 2 seconds,
run into the aurora then disappeared. It was really really exciting ;-))

Here is my observational report.
