Martian Meteorite Gets NASA Mars Rover's Attention

Posted by samzenpus on from the would-you-look-at-that dept.

coondoggie writes "NASA's Mars rover Opportunity will take a small detour on its current journey to check out what could be a toaster-sized iron-based meteorite that crashed into the Red Planet. NASA scientists called the rock 'Oileán Ruaidh,' which is the Gaelic name for an island off the coast of northwestern Ireland. The rock is about 45 centimeters (18 inches) wide from the angle at which it was first seen on September 16."

  2. and what do they make their tea in? by fantomas · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Yeah, and what do Tea Party people make their tea in? My mate who moved over to the States said it was near impossible to buy a kettle there (in NYC). I suppose if the Tea Party people improve the quality of tea in the USA then that's one positive aspect to their existence...
