Howdy Pekka, List:

Here's what I find disturbing about the photo of DiIulio and Starr holding
the (formerly) pristine meteorite samples: as scientists and directors of
the UNT planetarium and astronomy lab, don't these guys know that you should
not handle a fresh fall with your bare hands. Use forceps like they do in
Antarctica. Even amateurs like myself know this. Also the formerly pecan
size meteorites are now upgraded to walnut size!
