I've just bought a chunk of Martian meteorite NWA 4925.

...Well, chunk is maybe a bit of a misnomer, since this masses about 8mg.

But it is a bit of Mars. On my desk. After all these years seeing Mars through cruddy telescopes, not-bad binoculars, a slightly better telescope, and for the last few years in close-up through the eyes of the rovers and Phoenix, how utterly extraordinary.

It's rather moving.
