Description
A space rock the size of a carry-on bag crashed into Hillsborough, New Jersey, on July 16, 2024, breaking apart and landing right in someone’s backyard—where the homeowner wisely preserved a piece. Scientists are now studying this meteorite, which reveals never-before-seen salty fluids on a primitive asteroid and contains carbon compounds and amino acids—key ingredients that may have helped spark life on early Earth. Some fragments are now headed to the American Museum of Natural History, turning a backyard find into a cosmic time capsule.
