Auction of largest Mars meteorite found on Earth.

Auction of largest Mars meteorite found on Earth.

On the Internet there are many who say that the great investment is cryptocurrencies, and that this thing about meteorites and asteroids is very boring and dinosaurs is very boring, I am going to show that it is not boring at all and that it can be a much better investment than cryptocurrencies.


The image you are seeing is the largest piece of Mars on Earth, it was auctioned today, July 16, in Shtit, New York. It had a starting price of 2 million dollars, I think they expected to reach three or so, this Martian meteorite is officially named NWA 16788.


It was discovered by a meteorite hunter in the Sajara Desert and each country has special legislation, you have to be very careful, the legislation on the subject of fossils and meteorites is very strict, each country has its regulations, look at it first, of course, before going into the topic of looking for fossils or meteorites and, of course, inform us so we know how to locate them correctly.

This man won the lottery, first because in Niger perhaps it has more permissive legislation, Niger is not a country that is very well off politically, it has quite serious social problems, I don't know how it is, but the truth is that he legally got it or this meteorite came out of Niger that was discovered on November 16, 2023, it measures approximately 38x 28 x 15 cm and weighs 24,670 Kilograms, it is officially classified as a Martian meteorite by astronomers and specialists.


This is analyzed in detail and validated, the validation was published this same year in the Meteorological Bulletin, and to compare it and to carry out the analysis it was compared with the samples collected by the Viking probe on Mars in 1976, apparently it must be from the same area.


The thing is that this is one of the few meteorites officially from Mars. There are 77,000 officially recognized meteorites found on Earth, only 400 from Mars and this one is the largest of them all, and today it was being auctioned for $2 million. If the one who auctioned it is the one who found it, they have won the lottery because they have not sold it in the end for what they expected, the auction ended only a couple of hours ago and they have not sold it for the 4.0 million that they expected, but rather they have sold it for 5,300,000.

I didn't know this meteorite from Mars was found a few years ago! I didn't even know it was being auctioned off, I didn't even think it was possible. I'd say objects from space command a good price. But if science becomes a business, I think we could run into some problems in the future. !BEER

I knew that meteorite pieces were sold, but I didn't believe it could reach millions of dollars.

I hope that no conflict of interest is generated hehehe, perhaps the commercialization of space pieces will be good, that will make room for space mining and promote space conquest.

I also wonder how they found that piece of meteorite in one of the largest deserts on the planet, it's worse than looking for a needle in a haystack.
Plus that expedition costs a few bottles of water, hehehe.

greetings
