July 27, 2010 James Wooten, the Planetarium Astronomer at Houston Museum of Natural Science, will present a program on meteorites. Mr. Wooten has presented at least one program before, and those who attended found it fascinating. In the previous program he answered questions on what was an was not a meteorite and how to tell the difference. If you have a possible meteorite, bring it.
