Elena is an amateur astronomer who has just witnessed a rare, split-second meteor flash through her telescope. To ensure she does not forget the coordinates, she repeats them aloud repeatedly ('Sector 4, Grid 9, Sector 4, Grid 9...') as she runs across the observatory to write them down in her logbook. Later that evening, she relates this coordinate set to her existing knowledge of the constellation Leo, discussing it with her colleagues. The next morning, she is easily able to recall the coordinates when writing her final observation report.
