On Aug. 19 a burglary was reported at the Sonnenborgh Museum and Observatory in Utrecht, Netherlands, and one of the items missing is a meteorite that is thought to have originated from the asteroid Vesta.
Seen above in a photo from the museum’s collection, the Meteorite of Serooskerken was recovered from a rare fall in 1925 in the province of Zeeland. Only five meteorites have ever been found in the Netherlands, making the Serooskerken specimen somewhat of a national treasure – not to mention a valuable piece of our Solar System’s history!
About 5–6% of all the meteorites found on Earth are thought to be from Vesta, the second-largest world in the main asteroid belt.

Best show in town.
Take another little piece of my meteorite, baby.
You know you got it, if it makes you feel good.

That was worth it!
I counted 5 skips.
I think he’s on his way to Sturgis. :)
Get out there and practice.
What a maroon!
Regards,
There once was a young man named Max,
Who avoided the gasoline tax.
The reason, you see,
Was his Vespa burned pee,
From his grandfather’s herd of tame yaks.
Well played!
She was the very model of a modern Vestal Virgin.
