Scientists believe that a meteorite that landed in Ireland on September 1 may have touched down in north east Clare. According to Ireland’s foremost astronomer, David Moore, the September 1 meteorite is likely to have landed in land along the border between Clare, Galway and Tipperary. Moore, who is also the Chairman of Astronomy Ireland is appealing to people who witnessed the fireball to contact the association. The person who discovers the meteorite is also likely to receive a major cash boost as fragments of meteorites are regularly sold for 50 times their weight in gold.
