South African Scientists Unveil Nqweba Meteorite

South African scientists have unveiled a fragment of a meteorite, approximately the size of a motorcycle, discovered in the Eastern Cape province. This rare fragment, named the Nqweba Meteorite, weighs less than 90 grams and has a diameter of under 5 cm. Residents in multiple provinces reported witnessing a bright streak of light in the sky on August 25, accompanied by an explosive sound and vibrations. Professor Roger Gibson explained that friction with the atmosphere caused the meteorite to break apart during its descent. The fragment was found by 9-year-old Eli-ze du Toit, who described hearing a rumbling sound and seeing the rock fall while it was still warm. This discovery has sparked considerable interest in the scientific community, providing new insights into celestial phenomena.
