Meteorite

A flash of light that shot across the sky over northeastern Turkey and sparked alerts on social media was caused by a "burning meteor" crashing to Earth, according to experts.
The footage of the fireball landing was recorded on security cameras in many provinces, including Sivas, Bingöl, Trabzon and Artvin.

A Turkish scientist has collected over 10,000 micrometeoroids in Antarctica for astronomical research.

Working from the Belgian Antarctica base, Mehmet Yeşiltaş said that he focused on micrometeoroids with his Belgian and Japanese counterparts.

Yeşiltaş said researchers first began to collect micrometeoroids this year, with samples from mountains in the continent's east.

The bright fireball objects which were recently observed in the sky over Chile's southern island of Chiloe have sparked further speculation after officials from the National Geological and Mining Service of Chile announced that the flaming objects were not meteorites.

Three meteorites found in the frozen wasteland of Antarctica should advance our knowledge of the solar system, according to the Turkish scientist who collected the rocks.

A giant crater that was formed when a meteorite smashed into Earth, has been uncovered deep below Greenland's ice sheets, according to the Independent.co.uk

The 31-kilometre-wide cavity was discovered by an international team of scientists who believe it was caused by a "rare" meteorite that struck Earth as recently as 12,000 years ago.

After the meteor that fell in the eastern province of Bingöl's Sarıçiçek village in 2015, the number of people who are looking for meteorites on land has increased, according to Turkish Meteorite Pursuit System Project Executive Assistant Professor Ozan Ünsalan from the Ege University Physics Department. 

A rare 30kg meteorite fragment found in the Barringer Crater in the US was sold online for a record $ 237,500, CNBC TV reported.

A large fireball illuminated the night sky in Michigan. Eyewitnesses say they heard a strange noise and saw a bright light in the sky, and the fireball came down to the ground. According to the US Homeland Security Service, it is a meteor.

The Hypatia meteorite, discovered in Egypt in 1996, contains mineral compounds that do not exist in the solar system. To this conclusion have come scientists from the University of Johannesburg, South Africa.

Research supports the theory that fallen meteorites in warm water on the Earth's surface have given the essential elements necessary for the birth of life. This theory rests on "comprehensive research and calculations in the field of astrophysics, geology, chemistry, biology," says a publication in Canadian University McMaster in PNAS.
