Thanks for the heads up on this. I usually read about these sort of things in the newspaper the day afterwards and wish someone had said the day before! Have a bling for your efforts.

Was this in the sky this morning? I was up 5.30 and saw a huge mass, to the right of the moon (North East?)

It's pretty big, wondered what it was....

Yes I guess a smack around Uranus would be appropriate.

EDIT: Although probably more appropriate if instead of a meteor it was an ass-teroid. (Sorry Hitcher ... I know it's an 'arse' but an 'arse-teroid' just doesn't work.)
