What a great paper by Patrick Shober and collaborators. If you're looking for #spacerocks or for #interstellar meteors, you've got to be sure of your data. www.aanda.org/articles/aa/...

A very cool thread about meteors in ancient astronomy:
Moudhy Al-Rashid (she/her)@moudhy.bsky.social · 2y agoStar gazers in ancient Mesopotamia focused on recurring stuff like planetary motion, but sometimes they wrote about meteors. Watching from Babylon, one wrote: “Night of the 7th, last part of the night, a meteor which was very bright in the middle of the sky” oracc.museum.upenn.edu//adsd/adart1...
Who doesn't like a #meteor? This pretty thing was seen from Sussex, Shropshire and beyond just before 1 this morning. Image from Global Meteor Network camera UK0002 in #Eastbourne, and also seen by four #FRIPON cameras.
