My first trip to the Smithsonian meteorite related display area was in April of 2016. In truth this visit was a spur of the moment decision to go there for an hour with a work associate, because we were not able to do some of our work outside on this cold rainy afternoon. The Smithsonian pictures that I have shared with the MPOD were taken with a work camera (compact Fuji type) that I had borrowed for the day. I had my colleague take a picture of me sitting next to the famous Goose Lake meteorite from California. What a specimen! ...the meteorite that is. Goose Lake is a BIG and beautiful iron meteorite. |
