What makes Almahata Sitta meteorite so special is that on October 6, 2008, a small asteroid called 2008 TC3 was discovered by the automated Catalina Sky Survey 1.5 m telescope at Mount Lemmon, Tucson, Arizona, and found to be on a collision course with Earth. This is the first time scientists were able to observer the course of a meteorite fall from space before it ending its journey in the Sudan Desert. What also makes this Almahatta Sitta even more unique is that it?s the first Ureilite meteorite to have traces of amino acids which scientist believe could have jump started life on Earth.

So please when you have a chance take a look at the auction at
