Hi List,

Mike Hankey has posted a video simulation of the July 6th fireball he
photographed over his home giving everyone a new perspective on the
fireball which graced the skies over the northeast.

For those of you who are unfamilar with the fireball (as if), here's the
original story on Mike's site:

Very cool simulation... Whether it's accurate in trajectory remains to
be determined. It doesn't matter much really. To have captured this
fireball in a photograph is an exceptional thing. The chances of
photographing a fireball like this are astronomically slim! Every pun
intended.

Enjoy...
