Rare aubrite meteorites from asteroid 2024 BX1 were discovered near Berlin, Germany, following a bright fireball sighting. The meteorites, which belong to a rare group called "aubrites," were difficult to find due to their resemblance to Earth rocks. The fragments were officially classified by the Museum für Naturkunde, aligning with the suspected mineralogy and chemical composition. This discovery underscores the importance of meteorite collections for research, as there is limited material from observed falls of this type worldwide.
