Meteor Over Desert Road With Red Taillights in beneath thin cloud gaps and stars near Tucson

Meteor Over Desert Road With Red Taillights

by Deanna Portillo

Cool blue twilight washes a flat desert landscape near Tucson, where thin cloud gaps reveal a scattering of bright stars against the darkening sky. One meteor cuts a sharp white line diagonally across the upper frame, against the deep indigo of the evening. Below, a two-lane road stretches into the distance, marked by two glowing red taillights from a vehicle paused in the distance. The air unusually clear after rain sharpens the edges of the dry scrub brush lining the asphalt. Red light reflects faintly on the road surface, while the vast darkness of the night swallows the horizon. The meteor's tail fades into the starfield above the silent, empty highway.
