SMALL ASTEROID EXPLODES OVER CANADA: Material from the asteroid belt landed on Earth yesterday, July 24th, when a small space rock exploded over Ontario, Canada.

Now the hunt is on for samples of matter from beyond Mars. Visit today's edition of Spaceweather.com for search tips and more information.
