I just read the Nature article (I subscribe to both Nature and Science). I 
have not seen Space.com's article yet, I'll look at that next to see how 
they compare. The article indicated it was a slow (11 kps( Mars grazer. I'm 
catching up on weeks of e-mail, so will respond to respnses as I get to 
them.

Subject: 	(meteorobs) Meteor picture from Mars?

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?

http://www.space.com/scienceastronomy/050601_mars_meteor.html

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...
