Hi,
I'm following up a research question and I'm not sure of the answer.
I am trying to find out whether any meteorite shower would have been
visible to the naked eye, and mentioned in newspapers, in the first
week of December 1847. Any ideas?
Many thanks,
Chris
Although not a major shower that year, I'd suspect the Andromedids. This
shower is associated with the comet 3D/Biela, which broke up around the
time you are interested in, resulting in years with impressive meteor
storms, as well as an increase in fireball rates. Because of the comet
breakup,
Hi Chris,
I did consider the Andromedids but I didn't think they'd be visible or
much discussed. Would the interest expressed in that shower have been
published before or after December 6th?
Also I checked 19th century newspaper archives for the term
Andromedids but couldn't find anything for

They used to be called the Bielids. These were definitely being studied
closely by astronomers in 1847, and there is a record of their
observation for that year. I have no idea if the 1847 shower was strong
enough to attract public interest- it certainly was no great storm. If a

Hi All,
I've created an 81-frame movie of Comet Lovejoy approaching the
sun as seen by STEREO B. Zipped, the avi file is about 7 meg,
but if anyone wants to check it out I can e-mail it to them.
It shows nice detail in the tail (which ~still~ extends beyond
the field of view of the camera!).
Sounds like it could be Jelly Fungi. It grows in the woods behind my house,
albeit in a slightly different form and color. Or, perhaps it is a hoax. I
suspect the latter.

This shows how the big auctions are only scams legalized to raise prices,
which are meteorites or paintings or photographs. Tomorrow I propose my Allende

price they did.

They're not scams... People who can afford it will pay what they want.
Who has the right to set prices? We all do, but it's the buyer who decides what
they're willing to pay.

inherently scams is bewildering. There are deals to be found at auctionsand
objects zealously fought over; an auction house merely makes the market.

Hi Jim,
The slide you're seeing is due to our (or rather STEREO's) changing
perspective on the comet relative to the background. Remember that we

two motions going on. Our observing platform is sliding to the right
