Abstract
IN NATURE, November 10, p. 36, it is stated in reference to a meteor that “a Norwegian astronomer” is of the opinion that the track of the meteor must have lain too high to be heard. “He calculates from the reports to hand that the bursting of the meteor occurred at an altitude of about 6000 feet (sic), and he thinks that even this figure may be safely doubled.”
