On the evening of November 25th, a brilliant fireball crossed the Irish sky, witnessed by people from Dublin to Derry and captured on video from Waterford to Donegal. Such events remind us that the boundary between the cosmos and the everyday is thinner than we imagine — that ordinary evenings can be interrupted by ancient rock burning through the atmosphere at unimaginable speed. Astronomy Ireland notes that fireballs of this brightness are genuinely rare, and rarer still is the possibility that fragments of another world may now be resting quietly in an Irish field.
