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.
