Meteorite that hit home is older than Earth, scientists say

A meteorite that recently crashed into a home in Georgia, United States, has been found to be older than the Earth itself, according to scientists. The fragments, which fell onto the roof of the house, were extensively studied, and researchers determined that the meteorite likely formed around 4.56 billion years ago. The discovery provides valuable insights into the early formation of our solar system. By analyzing the composition and age of the meteorite, scientists can gain a better understanding of the materials and processes that were present during the formation of the planets, including Earth. This information can help shed light on the complex history of our planet and the evolution of the entire solar system. The findings emphasize the scientific significance of even the most ordinary-seeming space debris that occasionally reaches our planet. Further research on this meteorite and others like it can contribute to our ongoing exploration and understanding of the universe beyond Earth.
