These are now on display at the Geological Survey of India office in Bhubaneswar for the people to have a closer look. The meteorites had caused considerable panic across the state on the night of September 27 when they crashed. As a result the extra-terrestrial objects, weighing between 500 grams and 5.7 kilograms, have aroused great curiosity especially among the school students. "I had read of these in our geography books, but I hadn't ever seen it. To see and touch it has been a great learning experience," said Shobhna Shroff, student. Meteorites are magnetic and contain an alloy of iron and nickel mixed with silicate materials. The geologists say the meteorites that struck the state may have their origin either in Jupiter or Mars. But exact details about its genesis, content and geological age will be known after laboratory tests. The pieces will be sent to the Indian Museum in Kolkata after the city exhibition for display along with nearly 600 similar pieces of meteorites. ______________________________________________ Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list_at_meteoritecentral.com http://www.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list --part1_1eb.11d2cd1a.2cc9720e_boundary-- Received on Thu 23 Oct 2003 02:03:58 PM PDT |
