On a Saturday afternoon, the sky above the Massachusetts-New Hampshire border became the stage for a cosmic intrusion — a meteor traveling at 75,000 miles per hour detonated in the upper atmosphere, sending a shockwave across New England that rattled homes from Boston to Rhode Island. The event was brief, unannounced, and indifferent to the millions of lives it briefly disturbed. It is a reminder that the Earth moves through a crowded solar system, and that the boundary between the ordinary and the extraordinary is sometimes only a matter of trajectory.
