Along with Antarctica and the Sahara, one of the best places on earth to find meteorites is the dry lakebeds of New Mexico. So it's not surprising that among the first institutions established to study these extraterrestrial visitors is UNM's Institute of Meteoritics . The Institute celebrates its 75th anniversary with a Symposium on October 24 and 25 that includes an open house at the Institute's Meteorite Museum . The Director of the Institute, Dr. Carl Agee , joined KUNM to talk about meteorites.
