4.5-Billion-Year-Old Antarctic Meteorite Yields New Mineral

Found in Antarctica, a rare meteorite, from the
asteroid belt, with a new mineral form not previously
found in nature.

Coincidentally, this morning I was just rereading
The Skylark of Space (1928), having found an old
paperback of it in a book sale.  In it, a character
used the phrase "get a wiggle on" - which I had
never heard outside my family.
