The stony meteorite is thought to have fallen to Earth hundreds of years ago, but has spent the last 31 years left lying in the garden. In January 2020 its existence was reported to the Institute of Planetary Research at the German Aerospace Centre.
Weighing 66 pounds / 30 kilograms, the meteorite, now nicknamed “Blaubeuren”, was discovered by an owner while digging a cable ditch.
The Meteoric Society, which documents all the discoveries of meteorites and falls in the world, showed on July 7, 2020 that it is a general H4-five condrite meteorite, and the largest ever discovered in Germany. Its iron and nickel h8 content also makes it very dense.
Scientists have been able to say for its composition that the Blaubeuren meteorite has experienced no less of a violent collision in the past. Judging by the bad weather on its surface, it struck the Earth several centuries ago.
As with maximum meteorites, it is observed that Blaubeuren originated from a larger mass in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter before its orbit was disturbed, hitting it in a collision with Earth.
Created the formation of the solar formula 4 billion years ago, Blaubeuren represents the original design blocks of the planets.
What impacted valuables on the Germabig apple for several centuries apass is just a fragment of a larger mile meteorite that struck Earth’s atmosphere.
In the short term, the meteorite stands out with its researcher, but is expected to be exhibited permanently in a museum.
I wish you heaven and wide eyes.
