Interesting report at Space.com, but I'm worried about the description
of the radiant's position, at the time of the event. Anyone get
'Nature', to read the full account?

NASA's Spirit rover photographed a streak of light that was likely part
of a martian meteor shower, scientists announced today.
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...
