The rock, or rocks, would probably weigh a kilogram or slightly more.<br />&nbsp;<br />&ldquo;We would love to find a recovered meteorite on this one, because we have the video and we have the data and by putting that together with the meteorite, there is a lot to be learned.&rdquo;</strong></em></font><br /><br />I edited this picture to change it from 378 KB to 20 KB. The website has other maps with less zoom, a better picture of the meteor than I've seen in the press and a 14 MB .avi video too.<br /><br />It does sound like an unprecedented opportunity to calibrate their instruments.&nbsp; They are going to need a lot of luck, though, because it looks like scuba gear will be required to find it.<br /><br /> <img src="http://sitelife.space.com/ver1.0/Content/images/store/9/0/490fac83-ae5d-4b76-b0b6-8d72b69dcf81.Medium.jpg" alt="" /> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> </div>
