Since then she has been back almost every year, collecting dozens of Aboriginal paintings and recording their stories. Her university's Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology will mount an exhibition, "Track of the Rainbow Serpent," in October, and Sanday is currently finishing a book about the crater. Her late father's find was extraordinarily rare. Although an estimated 3,000 metric tons of meteoric dust falls to Earth each year, only about 100 meteorites of any substance make it through the atmosphere. Typically, only five...
