Member Greg Shanos presents: A Guide to Collecting Meteorites

Greg Shanos is a pharmacist by profession and amateur astronomer by passion.   It all began with the apparition of Halley’s Comet in 1985-1986 when Greg became a member of Skyscrapers and subscribed to Sky & Telescope/Astronomy magazines.   There he found an ad for Robert Haag Meteorites.  After receiving the catalog, Greg purchased three iron meteorites, and from that point on his passion for these extraterrestrial gems was ignited.   Over thirty years later, Greg continues to collect, lecture, and educate about the wonders of these rocks from space.   Greg has also published over 35 review articles in Meteorite & Meteorite-Times magazines regarding organic compounds in meteorites.   Tonight’s presentation is entitled:  A Guide to Collecting Meteorites.
