Star gazing in Brooklyn was never going to be entirely successful... but as 07:00 on Mars occured at 01:26 on Earth it didn't seem unreasonable to step outside and look up.
Amongst the city lights and cloud cover I watched and waited... inwardly suspecting that my gaze towards the heavens was entirely futile.
It was only as I turned to go that I saw it... a singular illuminated arc across the sky. Perhaps it was not the perseid meteor shower that was experience elsewhere but it was mine and it was glorious.
