APOD 2.4


Seen above are scientists scouring antarctica for meteorites. Antarctica has proven to be good hunting grounds for meteorites because there is a very low chance for anything other than ice showing itself in sheets of blue ice, and chances are if a rock is found, it's probably from space. I also like this picture because it shows how astronomy relates to Earth, instead of distant stars and galaxies.
