Abstract
RECENT METEORS.—Mr. Denning writes:—“On July 5 there were two showers in prominent activity, supplying large, slow-moving meteors. The radiants were at 243°+65° and 228°+58°. These positions are some distance east of the radiant point computed for Pons-Winnecke' comet, but it is possible the comet and meteors may be associated, the discordances having been brought about by perturbations. Fireballs were observed at Bristol on July 5 nh. 4001. G.M.T. from radiant 243°+65°, on July 9 nh. 54111. from radiant 238°+18°, and I2h. 4701. from radiant 343°+12°. A well-defined shower of swift, streaking meteors was observed from the latter position on the night of July 9.”
