The Night Sky Network is giving a webinar this evening on hunting for
meteorites in the Antarctic. This should be a very interesting presentation.
Dr. Emilie Dunham, one of our former speakers, was on an Antarctic meteorite
hunt in the fall of 2019. The group she was with found several hundred
meteorites.
I have attended several of the NSN webinars and they all have been very
interesting and informative.
