The Perseids meteor shower happens regularly in August , around the 12th,
every year, 50-100 meteors every hour. Lasts for 5 days. Its parent body is
Comet 103P/Swift-Tuttle. It is regarded as the most dependable of all meteor
showers.

Hi, all!
Can anyone give me the classification for NWA 1877? It was found too late
to be included in both Grady's Catalogue (5th ed.) online Catalogue, as
well as A to Z (2nd ed.).
Thanks!

Hi Ken...It was classified as an olivine-rich
diogenite. You can read more about it here:

One of my favorite meteorwrongs appeared not too long ago on eBay by
someone selling what he thought was a meteorite. He said he found it at a
flea market and kept it in a shoe box for years. He stated with absolute
certainty that it's a meteorite because it's round, black, and NOT magnetic!
