"Meteorite is a stony, ironic or mixed material of unburned cosmic meteors other than the Earth that break away from their original orbit or scatter them on the surface of the Earth or other planets in fragments, also known as "meteorites".

Most meteorites come from the asteroid belt, and a small number come from the Moon and Mars.

Meteorites are usually divided into three categories according to the level of iron-nickel metal content in their interior: stony meteorites, iron meteorites, and stony-iron meteorites.

The iron-nickel metal content in stony meteorites is less than or equal to 30; The iron-nickel content of stony-iron meteorites is between 30 and 65; Iron meteorites have an iron-nickel metal content of 95 or more.

Because most meteorites fall in inhabited areas such as oceans, barren grasses, forests and mountains, only a few dozen hand meteorites are found and collected every year, and the number is very small.

It mostly falls from the sky and has different shapes.

In January 2006, researchers at Curtin University in Australia discovered a 4.5-billion-year-old meteorite in the Eyre region of southern Australia. It came from outside the orbit of Mars and entered the Earth's atmosphere on November 27, 2005. ”

Since Peng Ying is now obsessed with meteorites, the second gang feels that it is necessary for them to care about and understand some of the relevant knowledge about meteorites, now is the era of high technology, the communication network is developed, as long as you turn on the computer and enter the relevant nouns to search, the screen will immediately appear.

"There is a meteorite fever in the midst of China's new wealthy. In order to show their unique taste, they set their sights on the meteorite market. For them, the larger the volume of the meteorite, the better. In the eyes of these people, no matter how high-end the car is, it is made by people, but meteorites are unique and cannot be created by manpower. ”

What Peng Ying said seems to be right at all, this meteorite collection now seems to have indeed become a sign of new wealth.

So the two gangs searched for relevant information about the meteorite auction market:

"Space Rock Auction: Martian meteorites start at $26,000

On November 12, Beijing time, Christie's auction house conducted a meteorite auction online. These meteorites come from asteroids, the moon and Mars, and are small and delicate, with prices ranging from $450 to $110,000. The auction will run until November 25.

There is a craze among China's newly wealthy class to buy meteorites at high prices on the global market. The Spanish newspaper Abbesai reported that meteorites found in deserts and polar regions are selling for more due to their higher credibility. The meteorite market has become globalized, but in relatively limited quantities. In this market, meteorite fragments in good condition can sell for hundreds of thousands of euros at best. ”

On the latest largest discovery of a meteorite: "In January 2006, researchers at Curtin University in Australia discovered a 4.5-billion-year-old meteorite in the Eyre region of southern Australia. It came from outside the orbit of Mars and entered the Earth's atmosphere on November 27, 2005. The meteorite weighed 80 kilograms when it entered the atmosphere, but only 1.7 kilograms remained when it was discovered. Scientists say it's older than Earth and may be the oldest meteorite ever found on Earth.

On September 10, 2006, scientists discovered a giant meteorite in the Argentine town of Saido, which was measured to weigh 30 tons and is the second largest meteorite in the world. The meteorite, which came from the main asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter, originally weighed 800 tons and has now broken into multiple meteorites that are distributed over an area of 320 square kilometers around it. ”

What people think of this meteorite: "In ancient times, people often regarded meteorites as sacred objects. For example, the ancient Romans used meteorites as messengers of the gods, and they built bell towers to worship them at the place where the meteorites fell. The Hungarians carried the meteorite into the church and chained it to prevent the "gift of God" from flying back into the sky. Mecca, the holiest site in Islam, also has a meteorite that is considered a "holy stone". In some ancient civilizations, meteorites are often used as burials for emperors and dignitaries.

In the first year of the Northern Song Dynasty, in Changzhou, when the sun set, there was a loud noise like thunder in the sky, which turned out to be a big one

Stars, almost like the moon, appear in the southeast. After a while, there was a loud bang and moved to the southwest. After another earthquake, the stars fell in the courtyard of a person surnamed Xu in Yixing County, and people from afar and near saw it, the fire was bright and the fence of Xu's house was burned down.

Then the fire went out, and there was a cave the size of a teacup in the ground, very deep. Looking down, the stars were inside the cave, glowing faintly. It took a long time before it gradually darkened, and it was too hot to get close. It took a long time to dig the cave, more than three feet deep, to find a round stone, still hot, the size of a fist, a little pointed at the end, the color of iron, and the weight of iron.

Changzhou's Taishou Zheng Shen got it and sent it to Runzhou Jinshan Temple for preservation. It is also hidden in a box, and when visitors get there, they open the box to show people. Wang Wuyi wrote an article about this, which was recorded in great detail"

The price of meteorites: "In 2003, in Urumqi, a "fist-big" meteorite, marked a sky-high price of 80 million, and another iron meteorite weighing 530 kilograms, which is shaped like the head of a dragon in mythological stories is very rare, and its reference price is 220 million. The news has been announced, which has once again aroused the enthusiastic attention of collectors at home and abroad. According to Manager Bao, in the international market, high-grade iron meteorites are between 2,000 and 8,000 US dollars per gram, which is dozens to hundreds of times the price of gold, and the most rare ones will be as high as 100,000 US dollars. Iron meteorites can be called a well-deserved world-class collection.

Meteorites have long been rare, rarer than gold and diamonds. No more than 300O pieces have been collected in the world so far. At present, this iron meteorite, which weighs 530 kilograms, has important scientific value for understanding the age of the earth and the evolution of the earth. Its scientific research value has surpassed the collection, art and investment value of ordinary collections. ”

My little obedient, the two gangs couldn't help but sigh secretly in their hearts, it can be said that Peng Ying really didn't say anything to herself, if those who think that Peng Ying is already nervous also understand this knowledge, will they think that Peng Ying is really nervous.

However, as the saying goes, there is a gain and a loss in everything, and the two gangs saw such a content: "Meteorites have contributed to the creation of human beings, and due to the influence of meteorites, they have promoted the generation, evolution, and development of living beings, but meteorites will also bring harm to the destruction of human beings." For example, the ancient civilization continent of Daxizhou, which has submerged into the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean, is located on the edge of the giant Atlantic crater mentioned above, and the reason why the ancient Indians, who created the splendid Mayan culture, suddenly disappeared is also because meteorites often appear there in them."

In other words, this meteorite will also cause harm to people, and it may still be fatal.
