How to Identify a Meteorite | A New Way to Museum

The sky isn't falling, but it does throw space rocks at us from time to time. Meteorites are pieces of rock and metals that have fallen and hit a planet's surface. There are three categories that scientists use to classify meteorites, there are stony meteorites, iron meteorites, and stony-iron meteorites. In today's episode, Dr. Laura Wilson will be showing you how to identify the three types, how we maintain our meteorite collection, and what we can learn from studying them.

    I found a pretty big "rock" in a river in Quebec that is dark green and black, has a metallic sheen, feels greasy, is slightly magnetic, has many rounded edges that clearly used to be sharp. 7 inches across, 4 inches wide and very heavy. I cut a mini piece off the end with a grinder yesterday and it is all grey metal inside with one shinier silvery inclusion that I saw in my jewelers lens. It is not rock!?! Almost a slippery sheen, like I cut a piece of new steel but there is no rust on the rock anywhere. Can I post /send a pic ? Cheers

    I found one while at property in west Virginia. It is a rusty color that is heavy but I don't think it is magnetic. It looks identical to pics I have seen of bigger ones. I thought it was iron ore as it is heavy for a golf ball size rock.

    Interesting! A few months ago I saw a shooting star that came in at a very low angle, as it streaked through the sky, it burned in different colours of the rainbow, making me wonder if it was a meteor or a man-made piece of a satellite? It was the most beautiful sight while it was burning.

    If it was fast and colorful, it was probably a meteor. Satellites and rocket debris are typically orange like a fire and move much slower.
