The remains were found the following day north of the Columbia River near Washougal. The stone, about the size of a tennis ball, is a piece of Asteroid 4 Vesta. There are plans this spring to organize volunteers to hunt for more meteorites near the sites of earlier finds in Eastern Washington. The most promising search area lies along the terminal moraine that marks the southern limit of the glacial ice. Seating for the March 25 lecture is limited.
Advanced registration is recommended.
