Greensburg Meteorite Headed for Wichita

One of Greensburg's most well-known attractions is coming to Wichita, at
least for a little while. The town's meteorite will be put on display
at Exploration Place.

The museum says, the 1,000 pound Brenham pallasite meteorite will arrive
some time next week.

The big rock was part of Greensburg's Big Well attraction, but it was
blown away by the May 4th tornado. It was found a short time later.

Once the meteorite arrives, it will be on display in the lobby at
Exploration Place for all to see. It will be free, but donations for
the Greensburg recovery effort will be accepted.

The meteorite will stay in Wichita until Greensburg is able to make a
new home for it.
