After untangling your eyes from those incredible lines by sneaking out
through the inclusion - just look at that amazing - AMAZING AMAZING -
fusion crust! --- Thanks Sergey for a superb photo of this beautiful
iron witnessed fall.

And the fall has a painting, too - got to admire the Russian artists
that are always around to capture these great moments in meteoritics!

Kindest wishes
Doug
