The Meteor Girl
by Jack Williamson
When a meteor lands on the beachfront airfield of our narrator and his partner Charlie
King, Charlie realizes that it provides a space-time portal
through which they view the death-at-sea of Charlie’s ex-fiancée.
— Michael Main
A terrestrial astronomer may reckon that the outburst on Nova Persei occurred a century
before the great fire of London, but an astronomer on the Nova may reckon with equal
accuracy that the great fire occurred a century before the outburst on the Nova.
