Meteorite
Meteorites are rocks that fall to the earth's surface from space. Often originating from asteroid and comet fragments that travel through space till crossing our planetary path, as the effects of gravity pull the meteoroid enough to fall through the planet's atmosphere.
Meteors, also known as shooting stars, are the streaks of light created by the gasses held within meteoroids burning in the Earth's atmosphere. Some of the fastest meteors travel at speeds of 44 miles (70km) per second. These amazing space rocks are then considered meteorites when they crash to earth as the final bang!
Metaphysically meteorites connect us to the flow of the universe, connecting to other dimensions, and communicating with others.
| Muonionalusta Meteorite
The Muonionalusta meteorite fell around one million years ago in far northern Sweden, north of the Arctic Circle near the border with Finland. Pieces of the meteorite were first discovered near Kiruna, Sweden in 1906, but searching for them is difficult due to their icy location. They have also been moved around over the past 80,000 years by glacial activity so they can turn up in unexpected places. A rare type of iron meteorite, it is classified as fine octahedrite (IVA) and has spectacular etched patterns known as Widmanstätten patterns. |
