     FIREBALL HOLE: Discovery of a huge meteorite crater - the third largest 
known crater in which meteoritic materials have been found - in northern 
Chile by a Columbia University Chilean expedition was announced Monday by 
the National Science Foundation.
     The hole has a diameter of nearly three miles and an average depth of 
100 feet.  The exact location was not made public, so as to avoid curiosity 
seekers.

website), is available upon e-mail request.

The NPA in the subject line, stands for Newspaper Article. The old list 
server allowed us a search feature the current does not, so I guess this is 
more for quick reference and shortening the subject line now.
