Meteorite at American Museum of Natural History, Arthur Ross Hall of Meteorites. Photo: August 2006.
I think this might be a fragment from the Barringer Crater in Arizona, but unfortunately I don't have a good photo of the information plaque so I can't be sure.

These are making me very impatient for New Horizons to get out there!

Symphony of Science
Although I'm way late to the game with this, here is the newest offering in the Symphony of Science series - an incredible collection of music videos created from auto-tuned clips of famous scientists.

Happy New Year!
As you can probably tell from the dramatic decline in posting frequency (besides the weekly picture) 2009 turned out to be a pretty busy year for me. I'm not really making any resolutions this year but it is certainly a goal of mine to be able to blog more (here and at other sites I run).
It's kind of hard to believe 2010 is here. I felt the same way 2001, and in both cases I'm disappointed that we're not at the technological level that Arthur C. Clarke imagined for us. Although we did at least crash the Galileo spacecraft into Jupiter to prevent it from ever possibly crashing into Europa. You know, just in case - "All these world are yours except Europa. Attempt no landing there." :)
Here's to a happy and productive 2010!
