| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Aileen R |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | It was the most incredible night sky experience I have witnessed. I have seen lots of shooting stars etc, but never anything to begin to match this, nothing as long lasting, colourful or large as this. I have never seen an explosion in the sky. As an experience to witness it far surpassed eclipses etc. I saw the whole event from first appearance in the sky until it faded. WOW! |
