Find a Falling Star, as published in 1972, had a cover which featured the book’s title and author on a blue background, superimposed over a black and white illustration of an exploding fireball. The book itself contained no information about the illustration, but in case you were wondering, it is a depiction of a meteorite that fell in France in 1883, and is one of the earliest artist renditions of a meteorite fall. The illustration shows the terror and confusion caused by the fall of a large meteorite during daylight hours.
From L’Astronomie, Vol. 2, 1883. Published in Minerals from Earth and Sky, Part I, The Story of Meteorites, by George P. Merrill, Volume Three of the Smithsonian Scientific Series, 1934.
