chondrite meteorite

Hours after a meteorite descended near the remote village of Carancas in Peru in 2007, hundreds of people began to show strange symptoms.

A piece of meteorite estimated 4.56 billion years old was found in Mexico in the collection of rare asteroids auctioned this year in New York.

The water on Mars and Earth is of the same origin, most likely from meteorites hitting the surface of these bodies during the formation phase.

The origin of meteorites can only be observed by microscopy that creates cosmic dust that was first revealed in a study published last September 1.
