Lecture by Nick Gessler, Duke University
The fiery passage of rocks from space through the atmosphere melts, erodes and rearranges their surfaces resulting in both regular and chaotic patterns of great beauty. Nick Gessler will discuss the physics and aesthetics of these phenomena with respect to the newest addition to the UCLA Meteorite Gallery: a meteorite that maintained its orientation during atmospheric passage and that was recently found near Baker, California.
