Researcher holds a meteorite found in Arizona, USA
Meteorite. Researcher holds a meteorite found in Arizona, USA. Meteorites are lumps of rock & metal that strike the Earth without being burnt up as they fall through the atmosphere. Most of them are fragments from asteroids or comets, though some are fragments of the Moon or other planets which were thrown into space by a meteorite impact. Meteorites can give valuable information about the composition of the early solar system or other planets. Meteorites may contain metals such as iron or nickel, and rocky material such as silicates. About 500 meteorites strike the Earth each year; their speed at impact is about 300 kilometres per hour

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, a dedicated researcher delicately cradles a meteorite discovered in the vast desert of Arizona, USA. Meteorites, these enigmatic lumps of rock and metal, have managed to survive their journey through the Earth's atmosphere without being consumed by its fiery embrace. While most meteorites are remnants from asteroids or comets hurtling through space, some even originate from celestial bodies like our Moon or other planets that were forcefully ejected into the cosmos due to powerful impacts. These extraterrestrial visitors hold immense scientific value as they offer invaluable insights into the composition of our early solar system and distant planets. Within their rugged exteriors lie secrets waiting to be unraveled about the mysteries of our universe. Comprising metallic elements such as iron and nickel alongside rocky silicates, meteorites provide researchers with crucial clues about planetary formation and evolution. It is estimated that approximately 500 meteorites make contact with Earth each year at astonishing speeds reaching up to 300 kilometers per hour upon impact. This awe-inspiring image serves as a reminder of humanity's ceaseless pursuit of knowledge beyond our terrestrial boundaries. As we stand on this pale blue dot in an infinite cosmos, it is through diligent research and exploration that we continue to expand our understanding of the universe we call home.
