Meteorite that crashed through Spring-area home goes on display at Houston Museum of Natural Science

An out-of-this-world exhibit is now on display at the Houston Museum of Natural Science. You can now see the meteorite that crashed into a home in the Spring area back in March. SEE ALSO: Woman living near Cypress Station says piece of meteor went through her home's roof The space rock is part of the museum's "Fall to Earth" exhibit. It follows the meteorite's incredible journey through space. Scientists believe the rock is about 4.5 billion years old. "It's a very old meteorite. If you think about it, the solar system wasn't always here," Dr. Carolyn Sumners, Curator of Astronomy at HMNS, said. "There was a pressure wave that disturbed the area and caused the material to come together. Some of that material that came together was older than our solar system, like our meteorite." You can see the exhibit for free in the museum store. RELATED: Rice University researchers studying meteorite that landed in southeast Texas

Harris County breaks early voting records for a midterm election

Before sunrise on the last Saturday of early voting, a line already curled past the book drop at a southwest Houston library. People held coffee, folded sample ballots, and the kind of patience that midterm years do not always earn. Harris County early voting closed this cycle on a number county leaders had not recorded in a midterm: more than 862,000 ballots cast before the final day of early voting, a total reported by the Houston Chronicle. For a county larger than many states, that is not a curiosity. It is evidence that a huge share of the decision was already made while campaign ads were still running and while Election Day itself remained a week of ordinary errands.
