In the morning (6:20) on June 19, 2020, the locals of the village of Balajinagar in India - they saw a light trail in the sky and heard a strong detonation. All of this happened moments before an iron meteorite weighing approximately 2,790 grams fell to earth.
They soon found the scene and a rare example of a meteor flying in from distant parts of space. When they found this iron meteor - it was very hot. It took three hours to cool down, and the local laboratory did the first analysis of this facility.
The results showed that the surface layer of the meteor contained
85.86% iron
10.23% nickel
0.78% cobalt.
Other analysis and classification will be done in Delhi. Learn Astronomy and Astrophotography.
