PHOTOGRAPHY - PG 11

On this night, Houston's City Hall building on Bagby street glows red. City Hall in red adds an entirely new dynamic to a famous and historic part of the city. This downtown building is the government headquarters of Houston, Texas. It was built in 1939 and has included the office of our mayors ever since. It's located next to Tranquility park and the famous Houston public library. When it was built all those years ago, its construction cost under $1.7 million. Times have changed but this building has held up well. This photo makes the building feel powerful. At the top of the building is a clock where you can see what time I photographed it.

This is a walking overpass which spans across a major artery road in Houston Texas. This walking bridge has an asphalt top and is heavily worn. It's a greatly used foot bridge that allows pedestrians to cross many lanes safely everyday. The overcast lighting helped to create this darker mood.

On March 21, 2026, this meteorite ripped through the roof and into the home of Sherrie James in Houston, Texas. This meteorite was traveling at approximately 35,000 mph when it broke through the earth's atmosphere, creating this dark fusion crust. The dark crust is caused by the extreme temperature when entering our atmosphere, which melts the outside layer of the chondrite. After the space rock ripped through Sherrie James' roof, insulation, and ceiling, it hit a second story bedroom floor, busting it up. Then the heavy rock bounced back up to the ceiling causing more damage, and eventually came to a stop between the bed and dresser. The long scratch marks indicate the significant force as the rock pierced through the home's exterior.

Sherrie James who had a meteorite crash the roof of her Houston home in March 2026, and land inside her daughters bedroom, told me the story of the fall. I asked her questions, and examined the famous meteorite. In this photo, Sherrie points to her roof as she tells the story of the alarming crash. She was feeling thankful that everyone was okay, and said her grandson was scouring the attic to try and find more lost space rocks. She planned to keep it, atleast for a while, though she had plenty of interest from meteorite hunters.

On March 21, 2026, a meteorite crashed through the roof of a Houston home. In the street in front of the crashed home, scientists gathered and discussed the event. NASA planetary scientist Marc Fries, who works at the Johnson Space Center in Houston talks about the strewn field with Dr. Neeraja Chinchalkar and Rice University Asst. Professor Bidong Zhang.

In March of 2026, Sherrie James, her daughter, and grandson were all surprised when a meteorite came crashing into their home through the roof. Media, scientists, and meteorite hunters flocked to the home of the historic crash. In this photo, Sherrie James has opened her window and is answering questions from people outside. The falling space rock did significant damage, but everybody was okay because the meteorite didn't land on anyone.

This is a closeup of the famous space rock that crashed through the roof of Sherrie James' Houston home in 2026. She showed me the dark fusion crust that formed as the flaming meteorite made entry into Earth's atmosphere. She also showed me the sheetrock and other building materials which were stuck to it, from when it came through the ceiling. This meteorite is estimated to be over 4.5 billion years old, and from the asteroid belt between Mars and the fifth planet from the sun, Jupiter.
