The program will consist of a slide presentation accompanied by a lecture on origin theories regarding meteorites and tektites. A display of PJC meteorite samples will be featured, including iron, stony iron, and stony meteorites. After the presentation, the public will be invited to view Draco Productions' extensive collection of meteorites and tektites. Draco Productions will also have tektite samples available for purchase by the hobby collector, as well as other astronomically-related materials.
Meteors are simply bits of material that enter the Earth's atmosphere.
Most are completely vaporized during entry, and never reach land. Meteoroids are small versions of asteroids, but are undetectable unless they enter the Earth's atmosphere and appear as a meteor. Tektites are believed to be soil and minerals from Earth that have been blown up into space from intensive impacts from extraterrestrial bodies. These pieces are further melted as they re-enter Earth's atmosphere, and display melt patterns.
