Harvard Astronomer's Controversial Claims on Interstellar Meteor Fragments and Extraterrestrial Metal

Harvard astronomer Avi Loeb claims to have found fragments of the first-known interstellar meteor during an expedition to the Pacific Ocean. The expedition recovered dozens of tiny metallic spheres, or spherules, which Loeb believes trace back to the 2014 fireball that came from interstellar space. However, other scientists have criticized Loeb's claims, stating that connecting the spherules to the meteor is impossible and questioning the accuracy of the data supporting an interstellar origin. The controversy has sparked debate and criticism within the astronomy community, with some viewing Loeb's claims as counterproductive and lacking evidence.
