This is considered a new discovery that provides valuable clues to the scientific community to discover the components of the Earth's core.

By electronic devices detecting anomalous objects on the Earth's surface, Professor Andrzej Muszynski and colleagues at Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznan discovered a cone-shaped iron mass of 300kg with sugar. glass about 2m at the Morasko Meteorological Conservation Area (MMR) in the northern province of Poznan, Poland.

The main component of the meteorite is mostly iron and there are signs that there is nickel. Researchers predict that this "cosmic guest" probably fell to Earth about 5,000 years ago.

Speaking at the excavation site, Professor Andrzej Muszynski said: "We know the Earth's core contains iron, but there is no chance to test that, the new meteorite has a structure similar to the Earth's core and now we can easily verify ".

The new discovery will open to geological researchers the opportunity to expand practical knowledge of the hidden source of the universe.

Located in the northern part of Poznan province, the Morasko Meteorological Reserve contains seven meteorite pits. The largest pit has a diameter of nearly 100m and a depth of 11m.

Scientists believe that this meteorite area formed about 5,000 years ago when meteorite masses hit our Earth. Until now, the Morasko reserve has recorded about 1,500kg of small meteorite blocks.
