Yesterday I learned a new term, tektite, from Gravity by Tess Gerritsen*. Today on Facebook, I saw a photo of a dog named Tektite. Tektites are small glass rocks likely formed by the impact of large meteorites. Details and photos at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tektite
* The book is a fictional account of a dangerous substance from the deep ocean that is moved to the International Space Station as part of a standard experimental payload. A combination of accidents and mistakes happen and things start to go terribly wrong.
New snow today for Terri to play in:
