| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | Tonight I saw a star burn out in the most spectacular way possible. It raced across the sky as a blazing fireball before bursting into a silent, blinding flash. It was a terrifyingly beautiful reminder of how alive the universe is. —I was still staring at the sky in shock. Absolutely unreal! |
