Antarctic Meteorites

A recent scientific expedition to Antarctica has netted planetary geologists 300 rocks that originated on other worlds. Antarctica is a favorite hunting ground for meteorites because the dark rocks are easily seen on the white snowfields.

With limited budgets facing NASA and other space agencies for the foreseeable future, Antarctica may be scientists' main physical connection to the cosmos for quite a while.
