Space Rock Visits Earth Unexpectedly

A meteorite smashed through the window of a residential home last Monday. According to this article the rock appears to be a genuine meteorite. Usually such rocks are wuite terrestrial, but scientists are pretty sure this one came from somewhere other than Earth. While it makes perfect sense that a meteorite might land in a less than ideal place, until this article, I never thought about it. I suppose that the occurrence is so rare, that there is nothing to worry about. But still, it must have been quite exciting to have a meteorite smash into your house, even if its not that much different than a regular rock.
