Scientists have found the remains of the meteor that fell over Northern Arizona earlier this month.
Since the meteor exploded over the Fort Apache Indian reservation on June 2nd, the Arizona State University Center for Meteorite Studies has been ready to go out and find its remnants.
Despite the tough desert terrain, Laurence Garvie with the center said thanks to NASA Doppler radar they were able to find meteorites easily.
“We went exactly where the Doppler radar said there might be stones, and within half-an-hour, Robert Ward, one of the ASU invitees that was with us, found the first stone. And then within a few minutes I found a stone. And then a few minutes after that one of our graduate students, Daniel Dunlap, found a stone as well. And then we found stones about once every four hours,” he said.
Garvie said most of the meteorites they were able to find on this trip varied in size from a blueberry to a strawberry. He said more trips to the area are planned for the future.
