Unveiling the Origin of the First Instrumentally Recorded Iron Meteorite Fall
A fireball observed over Sweden in 2020 produced a rare iron meteorite. In a recent study, Ukrainian and Finnish researchers calculated the iron meteorite's orbit and possible origin that shed light on the early stages of our solar system's formation. As a result, this is the very first iron meteorite with known orbit.
