Meteorite found in Arizona, USA
Meteorite. Meteorite found in Arizona, USA. The metal cube with it is one centimetre square. Met- eorites 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
This print showcases a remarkable meteorite discovered in the vast landscapes of Arizona, USA. The meteorite itself is an awe-inspiring sight, with its rugged exterior and intriguing composition. Accompanying this extraterrestrial treasure is a small metal cube measuring just one centimeter square, providing scale to appreciate the meteorite's size. Meteorites are celestial objects that manage to survive their journey through Earth's atmosphere without burning up completely. They can originate from various sources such as asteroids, comets, or even fragments expelled from other planets or our own Moon due to powerful impacts. These cosmic remnants hold immense scientific value as they offer insights into the early solar system's composition and shed light on distant planetary bodies. The study of meteorites has revealed fascinating information about our universe's history and formation. They may contain precious metals like iron or nickel alongside rocky materials such as silicates. Each year, approximately 500 meteorites collide with our planet at staggering speeds of around 300 kilometers per hour. This mesmerizing image not only captures the beauty of this particular Arizona discovery but also symbolizes humanity's continuous quest for knowledge about our cosmic surroundings. It serves as a reminder that within these unassuming rocks lie secrets waiting to be unraveled by dedicated scientists and astronomers worldwide.
