2021 Fall Date Project

The MPOD Caretakers want to present meteorite falls on their fall dates. For example, Sikhote Aline on 12 February.

This Project will not dip into the MPOD archives so the Caretakers will appreciate anything you can contribute.

To reserve a date just let us know. Thank you in advance :)

The NWA 5028 meteorite makes a stunningly beautiful thin section mosaic. The large CAIs are especially nice to view. Many nice chondrules of various types.

Question: What causes some CAIs to appear almost invisible in cross polarized light, while others are incredibly brilliant?

Mosaic taken with a Nikon D810 and composed of 58 individual images.
