Late last month, a spectacular fireball lit up the night sky over the United Kingdom and Northern Europe. Now, locals are starting to recover leftover meteorite fragments and scientists say they may contain the building blocks of life.
An extremely rare meteorite found on an unassuming driveway of a house in Gloucestershire marks the first piece of space rock discovered in the U.K. in 30 years, the Natural History Museum of London said in a statement Tuesday.
