According to the National Institute of Solar Research (NIPR) of Japan, during the discovery of Sor Mountain Rondane on January 4, a group of scientists from the Institute discovered four objects shaped like rocks on Earth , about 1cm in size.

But the results of the analysis later showed that these objects were meteorites because they had substances that did not exist on Earth.

Scientists hope these meteorites will be useful for studying the process of forming the universe and planets.

Since 1969, Japan's Antarctic observation teams have discovered about 16,200 meteorites, accounting for nearly 30% of the total meteorites found on Earth.

The location of the discovery of 4 new meteors is 600 km to the west of Japan's Showa Observatory.
