One more stone in Galway

Time to get the shovel and wheelbarrow out. It seems that the meteorite that fell to Earth in Ireland could be in Co. Galway.
Finding a particular rock in Galway is a bit like…well, trying to find a rock in Galway.


Astronomy Ireland is asking anyone that operates a security
camera to check their tapes for 7.10am on the morning of February 12,
presumably in the hope that one of them was pointing uselessly at the sky
rather than, say, hidden behind a mirror in the restrooms in Supermacs,
observing cosmic collisions of another kind.


UPDATE: I should have mentioned that there is a £20,000
reward offered for the aforementioned rock by a UK collector.
