After years of searching and several thousand misses, Jansen Lyons finally found his first meteorite _ and the first one for Rio Rancho, too. Lyons found the space rock in September of last year, but it wasn't until last week that experts at the University of New Mexico's Institute of Meteoritics confirmed its authenticity _ and described the find as “extraordinary.” (AP Photo/The Albuquerque Journal, Adolphe Pierre-Liouis)
