Appeal for help to find meteorite’s landing site

Astronomy Ireland is appealing to the people of Cork to help them identify the landing zone of last week’s meteorite.

At approximately 1am last Friday, the Cork sky was lit up bright blue, by a passing fireball. The sight was witnessed by at least 50 people who have filed reports with Astronomy Ireland.

Meteorites can fetch anything up to 50 times the price of gold per gram but you first you need to find where it landed.
