"Meteorites are to planetary scientists what fossils are to archeologists or ice cores are to climatologists"

This article is more about the Tagish British Columbia meteorites ( I have a sample) that are being examined for a better understand of our Solar System. Their discover and what will come about through their examination is quite interesting.

Yes the comet caught us all by surprise. There was not much time for many of us to view it before the comet got close to the Sun and could only be seen in the daytime(!) or then the Southern Hemisphere .
But those who saw it here in Northern Hemisphere it was a nice show although not as splendid as those in the south. But as they say beggars can be choosers.
