The dagger buried with Tutankhamun is not of this world.
Its blade is made from meteorite iron.

A report published today is outlining the discovery that the oldest meteorite impact happened in Australia some 3.5 billion years ago. This makes it the oldest known hit by over a billion years. It also confirms a theory that geologists had about the formation of Pilbara.
ScienceAlert · Record Discovery: Impact Crater in Australia's Outback Oldest by a Billion YearsWe have discovered the oldest meteorite impact crater on Earth, in the very heart of the Pilbara region of Western Australia.
A time-lapse of a few nights ago taken by the #meteor camera I have installed on the roof of my institute. Almost every clear night has been full of #aurora the last few weeks 
The goal is to install 10-14 of these system across northern #sweden and start catching much more meteors with determined orbits (and ones that were also observed by other instruments) and possibly find #meteorites!
(And as a nice side-effect I get lots of cool videos of aurora and polar stratospheric clouds too)

Meteors, with their ethereal, glowing trails, have entranced us for centuries. But these extraterrestrial visitors are also inestimably valuable - not just for collectors, but scientists too. They are the most ancient objects we know, unblemished time capsules from the birth of the solar system.

The pyramid of Bin Bin, which puzzled scientists for thousands of years.
The #pyramid is made of black stone, but it is not an ordinary stone because all its components do not exist on the face of the earth. The black iron stone is only found in space in space #meteorites, and here appears the other puzzle because it is a very hard iron stone and difficult to shape and dig, but it is not difficult to break, so how was it cut with that Accuracy in angles and deflections?

#NASA estimates about 48.5 tons of billions-of-years-old meteor material rain down on #Earth daily, but much of it vaporizes in the #atmosphere or plunges into water, which covers over 70 percent of the #planet. People have discovered over 82,000 confirmed #meteorites. The vast majority are bits of #asteroids from the main belt, but about one percent hail from #Mars and the #moon.
Mashable · A meteorite fell at their doorstep. The doorbell camera caught it all.
The proliferation of home security cameras means that we get to see events that have never been caught on camera before. In this case, it's a meteorite slamming into a Canadian family's front walk.
CBCP.E.I. homeowner captures sound and video of meteorite strike on camera, and scientists believe it's a first | CBC NewsA man in Prince Edward Island got doubly lucky last July, recording a meteorite's impact on his home security cameras. The space rock also landed in the exact spot he'd been standing minutes earlier.
Teaching more of the little ones about space! They got to hold real meteorites in their hand, including pieces of the Moon and Mars!
They were surprised that the meteorites were older than even me and their teachers (only by about 4 billion years).

Martian meteorites are turning out to be quite an asset. These tiny bits of rock were chipped off of Mars, flung into space, and eventually landed on Earth about 11 million years ago. Today they’re giving scientists new insight into the fine structure of the outer later of the red planet. Science Alert explains: https://flip.it/Lb8hDb

Is life capable of spreading from planet to planet? A pair of astronomers recently proposed a detection strategy based on the concept of panspermia, the idea that life can start on one planet and spread to others by hitching rides on meteorites. More from Live Science: https://flip.it/ef13Z0
