Scientists have thrilled the discovery of a 500 - gm meteor in the backyard of a home in the Netherlands. They are convinced that the space stone will help shed light on the origin of our solar system.
In a statement, Leiden's Natural Biodiversity Centre announced that some people in the Netherlands and Belgium had seen a flash of fire fly over the Dutch town of Brooklyn on January 11th. This is the 6th meteor discovered in the Netherlands over two centuries.
If you look inside it, there are some as small spheres, coming from earlier times the concedure of star nebulosis, when the solar system was in its strands. He can tell us something about the beginnings of this system of things. It's amazing to think that in your garden you have a stone that could be 4.5 billion years old”, said Leo Kriegsman, geologist.
We found 12 different types of minerals in it, but not a single drop of water. It's very, very dry, and that reflects the high temperatures that it's been passing”, Leo Kriegsman said further.
Meteors are very special, explains the expert, because they confess that part of the history of the planet that we cannot tell ourselves.
We're geologists, he says, moving in the field, where we can find stones of different ages, but we lack data over the first 200-300 million years of Earth. These information can only offer us meteors, because they're the earliest objects we've ever been able to find, so when we find one, we're very happy”.
Heavenly objects had struck down the shelter of a barn without causing any injuries. Researchers believe that he was originally part of a generation of asteroids that occurred between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter.
