Abstract
BRIGHT METEOR.—Mr. Denning at Bristol saw a bright meteor of about first magnitude at 11h. 12m. on June 2 with path from 301°+0° to 265° + 55°, and directed from the shower of Pegasids at 334°+ 28°, to which he recently directed attention in NATURE. The meteor left a streak of about 10° amongst the stars of Cygnus and Draco. At Bristol the midnight sky of June 2 was magnificent, the stars being unusually bright and the firmament remarkably dark, and comparable with some of the evenings of early autumn.
