New technology for meteorite positioning dating back to 10.00 years in Kansas

Scientists in the US have used radar to penetrate the ground to locate and pull up a 4-meter-wide meteorite beneath a wheat field in Greensburg, Kansas.

The team dug up the Brenham meteorite block on Monday (October 16) with modern techniques that they could one day use on Mars.

Dr Carolyn Summers of the Museum of Natural Science in Houston said: "We need a rock that we can dig up and apply all the research techniques used to dig fossils and collect the Natural specimens to find the asteroid's route. The Brenham meteorite perfectly meets this standard. "

According to Dr. Summers, the success of the new meteorite positioning technique for the first time demonstrates that this technique can be used to search for objects buried deep underground and provide an image. The most accurate 3 dimensions about it.

In the past GPR was used to locate smaller meteorites in Antarctica. Ice allows radio waves to penetrate more easily.

However, before that, this technique was not successful in detecting objects inside hard soil like on Mars.

The soil around the meteorite showed that it had fallen about 10,000 years ago. Therefore, indigenous Indians may have seen it fall.
