Hurrá! Hihetetlen! Meglepő!

Az IMO-News listán végre, sok nap után emlegetnek valamit (félmondattal) a
csütörtök esti tűzgömbről!...

Ha az IMO expresszvonat lenne, a kerti csiga maga a fénysebesség!!! Persze az is
igaz, hogy valakinek végre csak össze kellene szednie magát, és MEGÍRNI NEKIK,
mi mit is láttunk. Praktikusan fotókkal egyetemben! Akadna-e erre vállalkozó?
(Egy picit kellene csak angolul tudni - meg persze érdeklődést tanúsítani a
dolog iránt.)

Hello friends,

a few hours ago I received exciting news from Pavel Spurny, head of the
Department of Interplanetary Matter at Ondrejov Observatory and one of
the principal investigators of the European Fireball Network. In the last
few days there have been two daylight fireballs in central/east Europe
with a brightness similar to the Sun. The first of these dropped a
meteorite, which was discovered thereafter and is currently analysed.

Both the analysis of the meteorite and of the fireball trajectory is under
way. We will keep you informed about further progress in this subject.
