"A very bright fireball illuminated the sky over Austria on an April evening last year. The fireball was visible throughout central Europe and was photographed by the observatories of the European Fireball Network, a system set up for just such an eventuality. The calculated trajectory led to a 1.75-kg meteorite, found 6 km way from the Schloss Neuschwanstein, one of King Ludwig II's palaces. Now known as the Neuschwanstein meteorite, this is only the fourth meteorite to have been photographed in its final fall." See the article in the latest Nature.
