Meteor Pieces Recovered from Alberta Meteor
You may remember back in late November a massive fireball was seen over Alberta Canada. Various stunning videos of the fall circulated the intertubes.
At the time, one on my neighbours wondered if fragments of the meteor would be found. I was rather sceptical, meteor fragments can be rather small and hard to find.
However, I was wrong, and lots of fragments of the meteor have been recovered. See Bruce McCurdy's web page for some fantastic photos (and more videos) of the meteor.
