[meteorite-list] Happy Birthday Murchison - 40th Anniversary

[Jeff Kuyken]

Hi all,

On this day 40 years ago in 1969, one of the most famous meteorites fell to 
Earth in a spectacular fashion. It was the beautiful Murchison CM2 meteorite 
which has been the subject of much scientific interest over the last four 
decades. It's this meteorite which sparked much interest in the contained 
amino acids and the burgeoning theories of meteorites seeding life on Earth.

Happy Birthday Murchison.

P.S. A friend of mine was in Murchison today and no one had any idea it was 
the 40th Anniversary even though there was a big celebration for the 30th!
