Residents in Ontario's Niagara region are being asked to keep an eye out for pieces of a meteorite that crashed down in the area this weekend.
It's very rare for scientists to be able to record the passage of such a space object with a lot of detail, he said, which is why scientists are asking for the public's help in finding fragments of the meteorite. "That's really rare, essentially, almost never been done before. And it gives us deeper insight into what asteroids are like."
"This was over 100,000 kilometres away when they detected it. So, to find a beach ball size thing in space, that far away, is pretty amazing and it underscores how good the surveys have gotten." Kim Tait, a mineralogy, meteorite and gem curator at the Royal Ontario Museum, said a group of researchers surveyed the area looking for the space rocks over the weekend, but they couldn't find anything due to the snowy weather.
