     FIREBALL HOLE: Discovery of a huge meteorite crater - the third largest
known crater in which meteoritic materials have been found - in northern
Chile by a Columbia University Chilean expedition was announced Monday by
the National Science Foundation.
     The hole has a diameter of nearly three miles and an average depth of
100 feet. The exact location was not made public, so as to avoid curiosity
seekers.

PDF copy of this article, and most I post (and about 1/2 of those on my
website), is available upon e-mail request.

The NPA in the subject line, stands for Newspaper Article. The old list
server allowed us a search feature the current does not, so I guess this is
more for quick reference and shortening the subject line now.
