"Not to be overly picky, but it's
MR. WEBB, not Mrs. Webb...
 
Mr. Sterling Webb"

Maybe Messrs. Webb? The Mr. Webb on the met-list at Venus Centauri (Proxima Centauri-b) has been excited lately posting about Earth (known there as Telemus-f). Their buzz, led by their Sterling Webb-b, is that on Telemus-f meteorites have the potential to fall all over the planet. On Venus Centauri, meteorite hunting strategy is to go to a Planet magnetic dipole, the only place where meteorites fall commonly.

Meteorite hunters there bring a lounge chair and kick off their shoes at a safe distance and bring a few books to read or connect to their Exonet with their reading tablets. Every few days, they are briefly interrupted by a freshly witnessed fall event and they charge in to collect the space rocks. Meteorite hunting is dangerous though. Some achondrites (called mash stones, or more properly mashers) have been known to fall around the edges of the defined concentrated field fall zones. They are the most valuable when they kill meteorite hunters, going for several times the value of their weight in fine purple quartz (on Earth known as amethyst), the most valuable, culturally important gemstone on their planet.

Kindest wishes
Doug
