Image description

Rabin Chaterjee shows a stone November 19 that his daughter picked up from their roof in Calcutta, suspected to be a fragment of a meteor. Rabin said his neighbours' saw an object fall on the roof early November 18, when thousands of people stayed awake to watch the Leonid meteor shower in the night skies. Rabin brought the stone to the Geological Survey of India for examination, just one of 20 specimens brought from Indian stargazers, and scientists will determine whether the objects are really of extra-terrestrial origin.
