It's Not A Meteor Or Meteorite In Southern / Western Australia


Recommended Posts

Japan is looking for its precious cargo taken from an asteroid.

“The capsule carrying samples entered the atmosphere just before 2.30am Japan time (5.30pm GMT), creating a shooting-star-like fireball.

It landed in the southern Australian desert, where it will be recovered from an area spanning some 100sq km, with search crews guided by beacons emitted as the capsule descended.

People who gathered to watch the capsule’s separation at public viewing events across Japan cheered the success. “I’m really glad that the capsule has been successfully released. My heart was beating fast when I was watching,” said Ichiro Ryoko, a 60-year-old computer engineer who watched at Tokyo Dome.”
