HRC member Coastal Discovery Museum is exhibiting a piece of an Atlas V rocket that fell out of the sky and washed ashore on Hilton Head Island back in May. Purportedly it was the first time such material has appeared on Beaufort County beaches. Telephone 843-689-6767 for information about this particular artifact and exhibits at Coastal Discovery Museum.
