$25,000 reward offered for finding meteorite in Maine
TL;DR Summary
A museum in Maine is offering a $25,000 reward for the remains of a meteorite that landed near the US-Canada border last week. The fireball was visible in broad daylight and created a sonic boom. The museum hopes to study any fragments of the meteorite, which could contain valuable information about the solar system. The reward is for the first meteorite piece found that weighs 2.2 pounds (1 kilogram) or more, but the museum is willing to pay for any specimen "irrespective of its size."
