The Hoba Meteorite

by Myndo

Beware of falling meteorite!The sign that greets you at the entrance is not to be taken serious, since it has been over 80´000 years that this piece of nickel and iron did fall from the sky.The Hoba Meteorite is about 1m thick and at about 3m long. It weights about 55 tons (I wonder how they would measure this).He has not left a crater which is a Phenomenon they can not explain.Today the site is a national Monument and you can see the big iron klutz for 7N$.
