Details:
The triple star Algol in Perseus was noticeably bright early this morning at magnitude 2.1 bright. I compared it with a photo I took during the Perseid Meter Shower in the early morning of 13 August and noticed it was coming out of its minimum magnitude of 3.4 bright. I discovered there was a fireball in the constellation of Perseus that I hadn't noticed before.
