Mifflin meteorite display opens at UW Madison Geology Museum.

>From its orbit in an asteroid belt millions of miles in space to its
dramatic fall to Earth last spring and now to a shelf in the
UW-Madison Geology Museum, the trajectory of the Mifflin Meteorite has
landed it smack in the middle of Wisconsin's imagination.
Eight pieces of the meteorite, named for the southwest Wisconsin town
where it fell on April 14, are now star attractions at the museum,
said Brooke Norsted, assistant director.
