Add it to the “Things That May Be Fun If You Have A Currency Butter”: Someone Visual over $ 5.3 million in a Sotheby’s AUCTION to own a piece of Mars. Red Planet Meteorite was discovered in 2023 in a remote area of Sahara’s desert in Niger.
Martian meteorites in any size are less unique. To get here, an asteroid first hit the red planet to give material material from above it. (Sotheby said there were about 19 cratian grants enough to prevent it.) That chunk then had to travel to 140 million miles on the ground. Only 400 of 77,000+ officers recognized meteorites from Mars.
Meteorite is known as NWA 16788. Red brown-brown, scarred exterior nearly appears like the upper red planet in miniature.
It is also a large large meteorite meteorite Martian. It is about 70 percent larger than the second largest piece of Mars found in the world. It measures 14.75 x 11 x 6 inches and weight over 54 lbs. It is large enough to represent about 6.5 percent of all known Material Material on our planet.
The winning bid for $ 4.3 million. After the fees, to go out for more than $ 5.3 million, made it the most valuable meteorite for sale.
Before bidding, the auction house sent a small piece of stone space to a lab, confirmed that Mertian’s obvious composition. More than 21 percent of the stone composed Mascelynite, a glass made when the asteroid hit the face of Martian.
