Researchers Say They've Found A Piece Of Amelia Earhart's Lost Plane

Discovery News notes that TIGHAR has been looking into the Earhart mystery for many years.
The piece was found on Nikumaroro, which Discovery News describes as "an uninhabited atoll in the southwestern Pacific republic of Kiribati."
Here it is - really the middle of the vast empty ocean that is this part of the Pacific:
