Re: [meteorite-list] Meteorite Hits House In Louisiana

Unfortunately this is just another example of how public awareness is needed in regard to meteorites.   I am pleased that some of you take time to educate individuals on the value (not just monetary) of these rare falls.  In the past few years we have been lucky enough to have several really good falls that have come with some great artifacts left behind.   There are people out there still today that think that meteorites are actual falling stars!  They have no idea how valuable these rocks are to science or  collectors.  They don't know that each impact could help solve some of the oldest  mysteries in our universe.  Teachers take note, make a point to educate your pupils on the importance of these cosmic wanderers.
