Hello List,

A Dutch collector-friend asked me if I would be interested in lending out
some meteorites, for them to be displayed in the Eise Eisinga Planetarium in
Franeker (Netherlands).
The planetarium is reported to be the oldest still working Planetarium in
the world (build from 1774 to 1781).

It sounded like fun, and a nice opportunity to introduce people to "the
world of meteorites", so I agreed to participate.

A photographic impression can be found at my website:

neker.html

I think even if without the meteorite display, the Planetarium is definitely
worth a visit when in the area.

Enjoy,
