This Weird Meteorite Crashed Through A Doghouse In Costa Rica (The Dog’s Fine)
That’s because Rocky’s space rock was just one piece of a clay-rich meteorite that crashed to Earth over the town of Aguas Zarcas in Costa Rica. “It formed in an environment free of life, then was preserved in the cold and vacuum of space for 4.56 billion years, and then dropped in Costa Rica last week,” Laurence Garvie, a curator at Arizona State University’s Center for Meteorite Studies, . Garvie and his colleagues are now working to do just that, analyzing fragments collected in the five days after the Aguas Zarcas meteorite fell last month.
