The Winchcombe Meteorite

我们的目标是：与当地居民接触。我们会联系温奇库姆和伍德曼科特的所有人分享我们对陨石坠落的兴奋。这是30年来在英国发现的第一颗陨石，我们希望我们能以这样一种方式吸引当地居民，让他们像我们一样对这一事件感到兴奋，并使它成为当地历史中重要的、被记录在案的、被铭记的一部分。教育当地居民。我们将利用这个非常“人性化”的事件作为门户，深入研究与stfc相关的科学的其他方面。我们将讨论这颗与太阳系一样古老的陨石如何告诉我们我们的起源以及行星是如何形成和演化的。我们将向年长的学生介绍我们的工作，例如，在钻石光源，在微观尺度上研究太空岩石。3. 回收新材料。之所以紧急提出这一要求并将重点放在当地，是为了使当地居民能够寻找新的陨石碎片。球粒陨石像阵雨一样落下，非常易碎，迄今为止，许多较小的发现都是非常偶然的。很有可能有更多的材料在地面上，我们希望当地公民协助我们寻找更多宝贵的材料。

Our aims are to:1. Engage the local population. We will reach out to the entire population of Winchcombe and Woodmancote to share our excitement about the meteorite fall. This is the first meteorite recovered in the UK in 30 years and we hope that we can engage the local population in such a way that they are as excited as we are about the event, and enable it to become and important and well-recorded and well-remembered part of their local history.2. Educate the local population. We will use this very 'human-scale' event as a portal to dive into other aspects of STFC-related science. We will discuss how this meteorite, as old as the solar system, can tell us about our origins and how planets formed and evolved. We will introduce older pupils to our work, for example, at the Diamond Light Source, studying the space rock at a microscopic scale. 3. Recover new material. The reason for the urgency of this request and its focus on the local area, is to enable to local population to search for new fragments of the meteorite. The chondrite fell as a shower of very friable material, and many of the smaller finds to date were very fortuitous. It is highly likely that more material is on the ground, and we would like local citizens to assist us in searching for more invaluable material.
