Meteorites: Visitors from Outer Space
Christina Hollis
This educational meteorite exhibit is dedicated to the memory of Christina M. Clinton Hollis, Ph.D. Christina was an accomplished mechanical engineer employed by John Deere and served as an Executive Board member of the Planetary Studies Foundation. She cherished meteorites for their scientific importance and the excitement they create when a person holds one in their hands and realizes it is older than the Earth and has traveled billions of miles through space to reach our planet.
