Interesting report at Space.com, but I'm worried about the description

'Nature', to read the full account?

NASA's Spirit rover photographed a streak of light that was likely part

The picture is the first of a shooting star above Mars. Further, the
flash has been traced back to its parent comet. And now astronomers
figure they should be able to forecast martian meteor showers...
