National Museum of Natural History, Division of Meteorites Correspondence - India

About the Project

How do you gather information about meteors when the meteor showers are happening on the other side of the world? The National Museum of Natural History’s Division of Meteorites built a network of correspondents to achieve its global outreach. The number of correspondents blossomed in the 1960s and 1970s.
