A homeowner in Georgia got quite the shock when a meteorite fragment crashed through their roof, causing widespread damage. According to experts at NASA, the meteorite fragment is believed to be billions of years old, predating the formation of Earth itself.
The homeowner, who wishes to remain anonymous, heard a loud crash and was astounded to find the meteorite fragment in their residence. The fragment was later identified by a professor as a chondrite, a stony meteorite that has remained unchanged since the early days of our solar system.
This rare incident has captured the attention of experts and researchers, who are eager to study the meteorite fragment further. Dr. Nir Goldman, a professor at Emory University, stated, "This finding is incredibly valuable for understanding the origins of our solar system. The fact that it crashed through a roof adds an element of surprise to this remarkable discovery."
The homeowner is working with experts to determine the next steps for the meteorite fragment, which may hold invaluable insights into the formation of our planet and solar system.
