A meteorite in the Cotswolds

English town, is not a place where much happens. But, on February 28th 2021, something did. At six minutes to ten that evening, Winchcombe was hit by a meteorite.The first piece of this bolide was found the following day by the Wilcocks, a local family, shattered on their driveway (see picture). Once they realised what it was, they donned rubber gloves, scooped the remains into freezer bags, and alerted the Meteor Observation Network, a group of amateurs who study incoming space debris. Other bits turned up elsewhere, later.
