Rare Meteorite From Spectacular Fireball Turns Out To Be First Of Its Kind To Fall In UK

On February 28, 2021, a bright fireball lit the sky over the British Isles. The original space rock was flying through the air at a whopping 14 kilometers (9 miles) per second before hitting the Earth’s atmosphere. Thanks to specialized cameras across the UK, researchers were able to follow the trajectory of the meteor from its original orbit in space all the way to the likely location it hit – and that’s where they found the meteorite. The space rock landed at 9:54 pm local time on Sunday, February 28 in the town of Winchcombe in the west of England. It is now in the care of the Natural History Museum in London.
