Highlights of the Stifler Collection of Meteorites

Along with a plethora of minerals and gems, the Maine Mineral & Gem Museum (MMGM) has one of the world’s largest and finest meteorite exhibits and the largest collection of meteorites from the Moon and Mars. Topics include AllSky7 cameras in Maine that the Museum uses to detect and track meteors, background information on meteorites, and highlights of meteorite exhibits at the Museum.

Questions are welcome, and attendees will get a chance to view and even hold some meteorites in person (please ask first!). 

Patrick Leverone is the Meteorite Project Director at the MMGM, where he works with
meteorite collections and exhibits, manages a subnetwork of all-sky cameras in Maine, contributes to educational offerings, and more. He has five years of experience guiding visitors
through the MMGM Space Rocks Gallery, including two years in his current position.
