image: This is an all-sky image, taken from the Desert Fireball Network in Australia's Nullarbor Desert with a fish-eye lens, provides a 180 degree field of view. The film is exposed for most of the night, so stars appear as white streaks on curved trajectories. The streaks that cut diagonally across them are fireballs. This image relates to an article that appeared in the Sept. 18 issue of Science, published by AAAS. The study, by Dr. P.A. Bland at Imperial College London in London, UK, and colleagues, was titled, "An Anomalous Basaltic Meteorite from the Innermost Belt." view more
