SCIENTISTS FIND 4.5 BILLION YEAR OLD METEORITE IN LAKE BED THAT CAME FROM SOMEWHERE BETWEEN MARS AND JUPITER!
A 1.7 kilogram meteorite has been retrieved by a team of Perth researchers in the South Australian outback using a new 32-camera network, a light plane, quad bikes and a drone.
Planetary geologist Phil Bland from Curtin University hand-dug the meteorite from a 42cm-deep hole on New Year’s Eve in a remote part of the lake bed hours before rain would have wiped away all trace of it.
“We got there by the skin of our teeth,” he said.
Success!
I thought it would be bigger?
