Videographer zooms in on a meteor fireball caught over Mt. Rainier in timelapse imagery (many of the other fast-moving lights are planes).

Get closer than ever to the moon! After you watch the #eclipse this afternoon 😎 🌒, stop by our Science Hub from 2-3pm to see lunar meteorite specimens up close. Geology Collections Manager Jim Holstein will bring lunar meteorite samples out of the collections for a special eclipse-themed #MeetAScientist. Lunar meteorites come to Earth when an impactor hits the moon and pieces are broken off. This meteorite was found in northwest Africa in 2014. #eclipse2017 #meteorite #moon #geology #MeteoriteMonday #SolarEclipse #NaturalHistory #Science #FieldMuseum http://ift.tt/2xlosRm

Beautiful pallasite meteorite slab - each of those crystals is the mineral olivine and they’re a couple cm across. When polished, they tend to let light right through them. The surrounding material is iron - remnant of an iron core in an asteroid that was shattered.

Meet some of the dealers who specialize in finding and selling meteorites - here interviewed at the Tucson Gem and Mineral Show earlier this year.
