Meteors flying around the corner…

Our new colleague Rüdiger F. presented a fantastic video clip to us.

Video: Meteors flying around the corner…

Apart from the fact that he was able to record auroras over Ruppichteroth on August 12th (congratulations), he also observed meteors from the famous Perseids. Fantastically, his meteors flew horizontally and even around the corner. We are currently considering whether we should nominate him for the Nobel Prize in Physics, but we fear that these observations will be met with great laughter in Stockholm. In view of his support for our work, we wonder what kind of meteor we’ve got ourselves into…
