Meteorite fragment that slammed through homeowner's roof is billions of years old, predates Earth: professor

According to a professor of geology, a piece of meteorite exploding from the roof of a Georgian house last June was found that it was billions of years old and before the world.

Georgia University Geologist Scott Harris told Fox News Digital from a meteorite trailer to Fox News Digital from an asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter and fell to the world near Atlanta on June 26th.

He said he was immediately warned and went to examine what happened and looked at the roof for the entrance point of the part.

“The landlord didn’t actually know that there was a clean hole from an air duct,” he continued. “They knew the hole on the roof, but they did not know that they passed through the air duct, one side of the air duct, a few meters of insulation, then from the ceiling, then through a ceiling of about 10 meters, a kind of sloping frame ceiling, and then there was a centimeter-a-pail small Crater.

Meteorite said he left a hole on the ground “about a large cherry tomato size”.

“And that’s why it hit it hard as a part of it, like someone who hit it with a sledgehammer.”

Harris said the ancient part briefly broke his sound barrier when he entered the world atmosphere.

Harris, “These are the objects that returned to the original material formed 4.56 billion years ago.” “So, the planets themselves and at least the rocky inner planets just before the formation of. And you know, then they are the basic building blocks of our rocky planets, and so it is one of the reasons why scientists are interested in studying them, showing us some processes that are active in the first days of the solar system.”

The world is believed to be 4.54 billion years old.

Although Harris does not threaten anyone such a small piece, scientists explained that he wanted to examine the dynamics of the meteorites that fall into the world, because “the ultimate purpose is to say what the risk assessment for absolute apocalypse”.

“No one should do nothing about such a small object from the atmosphere, but to understand where these materials come from in the solar system and understand where even the dynamics of small parts are older and what the risks are in the future,” he said.

“Scientists who examine the dynamics of meteorites can try to engineering ways to avoid collisions with them, most importantly, shown by the dart mission a few years ago, where we can actually be called an asteroid to move a little.”

“If you move an asteroids towards us and move early enough, you will get together from all of us.”
