Because the path of the Murchison meteorite fortuitously intersected the
Earth's path at an angle of only a few degrees, the visual observations
establish the entry velocity to be within 2 km/s of 13 km/s and
determine the nature of its orbit with a precision quite unusual for
visually sighted falls.
