Did anyone hear/see footage of the meteorite in west of Scotland? Quite a fireball, but apparently only a rock the size of golf ball or tennis ball? Nice pics groundhog, thanks for linking.

Not great pics but lots of reported sightings. :-) G

Interesting that the Pillars are being stored of dust and gas by nearby stars and probably no longer exist. They are 6500 light years away.
