Athens, Ga. (AP) – A meteorite A hole punched IN According to scientists examining the pieces of space rock, the roof of a house owner in Georgia is more older than the earth after burning in the sky in a fierce streak.
People in many southern states reported this by seeing this Mysterious fire ball In a broad day light on 26 June, it moved faster towards the ground than the speed of sound.
Georgia’s Planetary Geologist Scott Harris said in a press release on Friday that he examined 23 grams (0.8 ounces) of a piece of meteorite recovered from the size of a cherry tomato, which hit the roof of a man like a bullet and threatened the floor of the house outside Atlanta.
While examining the pieces under the microscope, Harris concluded that the meteorite had formed 4.56 billion years ago. It is about 20 million years older than Earth.
Harris said, “It belongs to a group of asteroids in the main asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter that we now think that we can tie from a very large asteroid’s breakdown of about 470 million years ago,” said Harris.
Harris said that scientists and colleagues at the University of Georgia have planned to present their conclusions at the Arizona State University to the naming committee of the meteor political society. They propose to name Space Rock as McDono meteorite, which reflect the name of the city of Georgia, where it was drowned on Earth.
