Hi list,

I don't know whether I should laugh or cry!

FINALLY AS A BONUS YOU RECEIVE A GENUINE METEORITE PIECE.
THE NAME OF THIS ROCK IS CALLED TEKTITE. SCIENTISTS ARE NOT
SURE EXACTLY WHERE THIS COMES FROM BUT THEY SAY IT IS
EITHER A SHOOTING STAR THAT ALMOST COMPLETELY BURNED
UP IN THE ATMOSPHERE, A PIECE OF LUNAR LAVA THAT ERUPTED
FROM THE SURFACE OF THE MOON EONS AGO OR IT MAY BE PART
OF A LARGE IMPACT METEOR THAT STRUCK THE EARTH AND FELL BACK.
