And they are extremely valuable, some bringing in tens of thousands of dollars from collectors and universities. There is quite an active market for meteorites today. Delta Aquarids meteor shower peaked on July 31 Later in August is the more active Perseid meteor shower http://news.national...-blue-moon-sky/ Atossa The Perseids name comes from the constellation Perseus.

I vote for this as most unusual statement here this week :-) Not really. Some people make full time careers hunting meteorites. It can be quite lucrative. There was a show on one of the Discovery channels a few years back called "Meteorite Men" John Howard says: There are 4 schools of economics: Democrats don't mind war as long as they can have big government. Republicans don't mind big government as long as they can have war. quite an active market for meteorites today
