Last week a meteoritic fireball lit up the sky of northern California. As it turns out, someone hit the jackpot… a rock of about 60 grams hit a house in Novato, California. Meteorites that hit manmade objects – houses, garages, cars, mailboxes, etc. – are known as “hammerstones,” and are worth a *lot* more than regular meteorites.

My stuff *never* gets hit with hammerstones…
