GREENSBURG — The 1,000 pound Space Wanderer Pallasite Meteorite recently returned to its home in Greensburg. The meteorite will be placed on display in the newly completed City Hall, 300 S. Main, until the new Big Well Museum is constructed.

The Space Wanderer was recovered following the May 4, 2007 tornado that destroyed Greensburg. It was found mere inches from its home in the former Big Well Gift Shop. The meteorite has made a tour of Kansas since the tornado, first to Exploration Place in Wichita, then making a longer stop at the Sternberg Museum in Hays where it has been on display for two years.
