Reflectance spectra of the meteorite, combined with the astronomical observations, identified 2008 TC 3 as an F-type asteroid. Fragile anomalous dark carbon-rich ureilites like in the Almahata Sitta meteorite are now firmly linked to the group of F-class asteroids. [2] [clarification needed] Amino acids have been found on the meteorite. [29]
2008 TC 3 was the first successfully predicted asteroid impact. This picture shows the estimated path and altitude of the meteor in red, with the possible location for the METEOSAT IR fireball (bolide) as orange crosshairs and the infrasound detection of the explosion in green
This is a list of asteroids that have impacted Earth after discovery and orbit calculation that predicted the impact in advance. As of December 2024, all of the asteroids with predicted impacts were under 5 m (16 ft) in size that were discovered just hours before impact, and burned up in the atmosphere as meteors.
The exact worth of a meteorite varies depending on the specific type of meteorite in question. An 82-pound iron meteorite originating from an asteroid recently sold for $44,100 — about $540 per ...

[100] [101] The Chelyabinsk meteor was estimated to have caused over $30 million in damage. [102] [103] It is the largest recorded object to have encountered the Earth since the 1908 Tunguska event. [104] [105] The meteor is estimated to have an initial diameter of 17–20 metres and a mass of roughly 10,000 tonnes. On 16 October 2013, a team ...
The Orconuma meteorite fell to Earth on March 7, 2011, in Orconuma, Bongabong, Oriental Mindoro. [2] It was discovered by three farmers, Fredo Manzano, Edgar Francisco Sr., and Enrico Camacho, Jr., who found the meteorite in the middle of a field. [3] The three farmers initially hid and stored the specimen before publicizing their discovery in ...
