Vinton druggist to operate meteor tracking station
Vinton pharmacist and stargazer Bob LaGrange will staff a small 6 by 6 foot meteor tracking station in his cornfield, part of a 16 station Midwest network funded by NASA. The device will use four auto cameras, photometer, and film reels sent to a Lincoln lab, aiming to locate meteorites and fossils by tracking bright meteors and calculating fall points.
