The 1913 Great Meteor Procession occurred on February 9, 1913. It was a meteoric phenomenon reported from locations across Canada, the northeastern United States, and Bermuda, and from many ships at sea, including eight off Brazil, giving a total recorded ground track of over 11,000 km (7,000 miles). The meteors were particularly unusual in that there was no apparent radiant, that is to say, no point in the sky from which the meteors appeared to originate. The observations were analysed in detail, later the same year, by the astronomer Clarence Chant, leading him to conclude that as all accounts were positioned along a great circle arc, the source had been a small, short-lived natural satellite of the Earth.

  • The 1913 Great Meteor Procession occurred on February 9, 1913. It was a meteoric phenomenon reported from locations across Canada, the northeastern United States, and Bermuda, and from many ships at sea, including eight off Brazil, giving a total recorded ground track of over 11,000 km (7,000 miles). The meteors were particularly unusual in that there was no apparent radiant, that is to say, no point in the sky from which the meteors appeared to originate. The observations were analysed in detail, later the same year, by the astronomer Clarence Chant, leading him to conclude that as all accounts were positioned along a great circle arc, the source had been a small, short-lived natural satellite of the Earth. John A. O'Keefe, who conducted several studies of the event, proposed that the meteors should be referred to as the Cyrillids, in reference to the feast day of Cyril of Alexandria (February 9 in the Roman Catholic calendar from 1882 to 1969).

  • La grande procession météorique de 1913 eut lieu le 9 février 1913. Ce phénomène météorique unique fut observé depuis divers emplacements à travers le Canada, le nord-est des États-Unis, les Bermudes et depuis plusieurs navires, dont huit au large du Brésil, portant à plus de 11 000 kilomètres le total de traces au sol enregistrées. Les météores furent particulièrement inhabituels dans la mesure où il n’y eut pas de radiant apparent, c’est-à-dire de point dans le ciel duquel les météores auraient pu provenir. Les observations furent ensuite analysées de manière détaillée, au cours de la même année, par l’astronome Clarence Chant. Celui-ci conclut que la source était un petit satellite naturel éphémère de la Terre puisque tous les comptes-rendus furent placés le long d’un arc de grand cercle. John A. O'Keefe, qui mena de nombreuses études sur cet événement, proposa que l’on appelle les météores « cyrillides » en référence à la journée célébrant saint Cyrille d’Alexandrie (le 9 février dans le calendrier catholique romain de 1882 à 1969).
