Catch a falling star if you can, and by all means put it in your pocket, but don't try to cross international borders with it lest you run afoul of a little-known Canadian law.
An American museum will have to navigate that law's intricacies should it try to buy portions of a meteorite believed to have landed in New Brunswick last month.
The museum in Bethel, Maine, has openly expressed interest in obtaining some of the space debris if and when it's found. Herd said meteorites can be identified by a dark brown or black outer glassy crust that resembles an eggshell, he said. "If the expert examiner says, 'Oh, I think this is significant, and important,' then will recommend refusal of the export permit."
