In this stunning illustration, we witness traces of the celestial event that occurred in the night sky within the constellation Pisces.

A male figure stands in awe beneath this celestial spectacle, symbolizing mankind's wonder at witnessing such an extraordinary phenomenon. With his eyes fixed on the heavens above, he contemplates its significance.
