March 2nd, 1942. The location, the caption says, is a Rolls-Royce Merlin factory “in the northwest of England.”

Both Spitfires and P51 Mustangs used the Merlin engine. But this photo would be Merlins for the Spitfires.

When a meteorite mashed a Chevrolet in New York

Quote:

On October 9, 1992, at 7:50 p.m. EDT—30 years ago this week—18-year-old Michelle Knapp was watching television in her parents’ home in Peekskill, New York, when she heard a loud, metallic crash. She thought it was a car accident. Scrambling outside, Knapp discovered a hole in the trunk of her red-orange 1980 Malibu sedan. Beneath the hole, embedded in the gravel driveway, was a bowling ball–sized rock that was warm to the touch and smelled like sulfur. Shaped like a football, it was only about a foot in diameter, but it was heavy for its size—about 27 pounds.
