Somewhere in a remote stretch of forest near Maine's border with Canada, rocks from space crashed to Earth and may be scattered across the ground -- just waiting to be picked up. If you're the first to find a really big one, a museum says it'll pay out a US$25,000 reward.
Scientists from Western University and NASA display some meteorites from other impacts during a press conference at the airport in St.Thomas, Ont. in 2014. THE CANADIAN PRESS/ Geoff RobinsSomewhere in a remote stretch of forest near Maine's border with Canada, rocks from space crashed to Earth and may be scattered across the ground -- just waiting to be picked up.
According to Pitt, the fact that radar detected the fiery descent assures the meteorites can be found on the ground. The chunks of space rock likely impacted across a swath of ground spanning from the town of Waite, Maine, to Canoose, New Brunswick. According to NASA, the largest specimens will be strewn at the west end of the debris field, closest to Waite -- about a 3 1/2 hour drive from Portland.
The Maine Mineral and Gem Museum maintains an extensive collection of specimens, including the largest intact Mars rock on Earth.
