Students at the Southwestern Indian Polytechnic Institute in Albuquerque, New Mexico, will help scientists at the University of New Mexico search for meteorites.

SIPI and UNM will set up a Meteorite Identification Laboratory on the SIPI campus. Students will help analyze rock samples brought in by the public, in hopes of identifying those which are of non-earthly origins.

Funding for the lab comes from a $402,000 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.
