This December 2008 photo, released by NASA, shows a black chunk of rock found in the Sudan desert, the first time astronomers have tracked an asteroid from space, toward Earth, into the atmosphere and down on the ground as a meteorite.
I am getting sucked up by yahoo articles, but I can't help but post this story as one of my blog. This is something big here, although they only found an 8.7 pounds of left over rock from a different planet but failed to form as a planet 4.5 billions years ago. Damn man, how old is planet earth? Earth is like around 4.7 billions years old or somethin'. That's history right there. More like questioning and actually receiving answers from God or some sort. The article says this is the first time Astronomers to tracked a falling star from space and down to earth.
