"2024 BX1: Rare Meteorites Hit Earth After Berlin Impact"

Fragments of the asteroid 2024 BX1, which hit Earth over Berlin, Germany, have been recovered by meteorite hunters and may be super-rare space rocks. The recovered samples, found by a team led by SETI scientist Peter Jenniskens, are suspected to be aubrites, a rare type of space rock that makes up only 1% of all known meteorites. These fragments could provide valuable insights into the origin of aubrites and help piece together the story of the formation of the solar system.
