Mars is usually seen in the sky as an orange speck. With the Mars meteorite Amgala 001, you actually hold onto rock from that planet. Such stones were once swept away by a powerful impact on the surface of Mars, have been carried through space for a long time, and then ended up on Earth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Scientists recognize Martian meteorites by the gases locked in the rocks. These correspond to the atmosphere of Mars as measured by spacecraft. If you want to see the planet yourself, read How Mars looks through a telescope<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mars meteorites are rare; therefore, it is a small piece measuring 0.16 to 0.39 grams. Shape and exact weight vary per fragment. Use tweezers when picking it up, a magnifying glass helps to see details, and store it in a dry place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you want a second piece of Mars in your collection, then this one fits. The Mars meteorite from Hassi Messaoud<\/a> It fits well. Even smaller the Mars fragment NWA 4766<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A piece of Mars weighing between 0.16 and 0.39 grams: the meteorite Amgala 001, once detached from the planet by an impact.
