Meia-tinta escura de um meteoro luminoso com cauda brilhante cruzando um céu nublado acima de telhados e chaminés de uma cidade em silhueta.

Meteoro sobre uma cidade à noite, meia-tinta

Um meteoro brilhante atravessa em diagonal um céu noturno escuro e nublado, com a cabeça luminosa que se desfaz em faíscas no canto inferior direito. Embaixo, telhados e chaminés recortados de uma cidade se estendem ao longo da borda inferior.
