Meteorite program set at Heppner A sp ecial fam ily program about meteorites will be held in Heppner on Monday, April 10 at 6:30 p.m ., by the C asc ad ia M eteorite L aboratory o f Portland State University. The program will be held at the Oregon Trail Library District’s branch library in Heppner. The program is free and open to persons of all ages. The ev en t is sponsored by the nonprofit Libraries of Eastern Oregon (LEO) and the library district as part of an Eastern Oregon tour for the m eteo rite program this spring. A cco rd in g to scientists, in eastern Oregon there is likely at least one meteorite lying on the earth's surface within every half square mile. R ichard Pugh, a renowned meteorite scientist who travels worldwide to search for and research these ro ck s from space w ill present a lively program that in clu d es a p ow er point presentation and question and answer period. Pugh said he will bring $ 1 5 ,0 0 0 w orth o f meteorites with him and he encourages those attending to pick up and handle the meteorites. Pugh w ill give a p resen tatio n to stu d en ts earlier in the day. “To date not one meteorite has been found in O regon east o f the Cascades,” Pugh said, noting that only a total o f three meteorites have ever been found in Oregon. “The eastside of the state is most intriguing to scientists. We know that there are m eteo rites out there and that it’s ju s t a matter of time until one is found,” Pugh said. Pugh asks that anyone with a rock that he or she th in k s m ay be a meteorite, to please bring it to the e v en t for identification. Most meteorites are heavy, m ag n etic and irregular in shape, often with indentations that resemble thum bprints. They often appear rusty w ith a thin black o r brow n b urned coating from being hurled through space. This program is one in a series of family science p ro g ram s from LEO in partnership with the Oregon M useum o f Science and Industry (OM SI) to bring science and space science programs to rural Oregon.
