How Much For This Dog House?


From The Guardian
comes this stellar story:

A kennel struck by a meteorite, a hunk of Mars and other examples of the “oldest matter humankind can touch” are expected to be sold for millions of pounds, as Christie’s holds its annual sale of rare and unusual meteorites.

Included in the 66 lots on “Deep Impact: Martian, Lunar and other Rare Meteorites” is a dog house hit by a meteorite which crashed through the tin roof in April 2019 in Aguas Zarcas, Costa Rica. Expected to sell for as much as £220,000, it has a seven-inch hole which “marks where the meteorite punctured the roof”, according to the catalogue.
