On the night of March 2nd, a solitary piece of the cosmos announced itself above northeastern Louisiana, burning westward at 30,000 miles per hour before dissolving 27 miles above the earth. It belonged to no shower, followed no calendar, and obeyed no human expectation — one of the countless sporadic messengers that fall through our atmosphere every day, most unseen. This one, bright enough to cast faint shadows across four states, reminded those who happened to look up that the sky is never truly still.
