British scientists have discovered the oldest meteorite
Scientists from England managed to find a meteorite, which is older than the age of the planet. This space object, after additional research, may become the oldest space body on Earth.
To study the meteorite, scientists used a number of high-precision methods. They wanted to find out the structure of the object, its chemical state and the characteristics of the interaction of different components.
The discovered meteorite is composed of particles and dust. It has a loose, brittle, porous structure. Has internal cracks. It is assumed that the object succumbed to certain transformations in space and on Earth.
There are no traces of strong cosmic influences on the dust particles. The experts concluded that the object never participated in the formation of planets or protoplanetary bodies.
It is noted that the meteorite was behind Mars before the creation of any of the planets. And scientists had a rare opportunity to study part of the past. It is possible even to understand the causes of climatic changes on the planet, the extinction of various species of animals and plants, and human evolution.
Archaeologists quite often come across various kinds of "traces from the past." But for their age to exceed the age of the planet - for the first time. British scientists will be able to make final statements only after the completion of all research.
And to work in difficult conditions - mountainous terrain, rapid rivers and poorly studied forests, tactical equipment is required. In the eponymous section of the OXO site you can find not only equipment - shoes, suits, backpacks, but also special equipment.
