BONUS #JunoCam: What's the bright star in the sky? That's Jupiter! Jupiter is at opposition TOMORROW, Jan. 10., which means that Earth will be in line between Jupiter and the Sun.

Pallasite (sold as NWA 16774) — polished slice (4.7 g).
Wide view + close-up under raking light: translucent olivine crystals in an Fe–Ni metal network, with dark opaque inclusions (likely sulfides). Minor oxidation/staining visible in places.

Zagora 006 (Morocco) — eucrite (HED), brecciated — polished slice (6 g).
Macro views show a fine-grained light-grey matrix with darker clasts and scattered opaque grains. Localized orange-brown staining likely from terrestrial weathering/oxidation.

Unclassified Moroccan chondrite, polished slice (15 g). Bright specks are likely Fe–Ni metal. The pale ~6 mm oval is possibly a macrochondrule or a clast.
