Meteorites On Display At Aerospace Education Center
Today's THV (Little Rock, Arkansas)
January 3, 2007

Meteorite enthusiasts can now see an exhibit at the Aerospace Education
Center in Little Rock of 18 pieces of the solar system that have fallen
to Earth.

The center is displaying meteorites that range in size from inches to
more than 50 pounds as part of a new "Impact Earth! Meteors from Space"
program. The space rocks are on a one-year loan from the University of
Arkansas at Little Rock Physics and Astronomy Department.

A piece of the moon, which fell to the Earth as a meteorite after the
moon was hit by a comet or meteorite, was found in the Dhofur Desert in
Oman and is on loan from Little Rock residents Robert Woolyard and Jerry
Hinkle.

If you need more information, call the center at (501) 376-4629 or click
