Woman is struck in the ribs by a ゴルフ ball-sized 'METEORITE' while enjoying a coffee with a friend

Space 激しく揺するs that hurtle に向かって Earth don't usually 生き残る the 旅行 through our atmosphere ? although a 最近の event 追加するs to the 名簿(に載せる)/表(にあげる) of rare exceptions.??

A French woman has (人命などを)奪う,主張するd she was 攻撃する,衝突する in the ribs by a meteorite while enjoying a coffee with a friend in Schirmeck, in the country's northeast.?

A meteorite is a solid piece of 破片 from an space 激しく揺する that 起こる/始まるs in space and 生き残るs its passage through the atmosphere to reach the surface.?

Such space 激しく揺するs do occasionally 攻撃する,衝突する Earth, such as the?Winchcombe meteorite that 衝突,墜落 landed on a family's 前線 運動 in the Cotswolds in February 2021.?

'We thought it was a piece of 固く結び付ける, the one we 適用する to the 山の尾根 tiles, but it didn't have the colour.'?

The 激しく揺する ? 重さを計るing around 50g, around the same size as a ゴルフ ball ? left bruising over her ribs where it struck.

She took the 激しく揺する to Dr Thierry Rebmann, a geologist, who said?it 含む/封じ込めるd a mixture of アイロンをかける and silicon, typical of?meteorites.?

While its 化学製品 composition was not usual, the fact it landed on someone was the real surprise.

Around 70 per cent of Earth is made of water, so a space 激しく揺する 上陸 on land is rare ? and on a person even rarer.?

The 半端物s of death by a space 激しく揺する 衝撃 are only one in 250,000, によれば one 見積(る).?

'Finding a meteor is already uncommon, but to be in direct 接触する and have it 落ちる on you, that is astronomically rare,' Dr Rebmann told フラン Bleu Alsace.?

It's 不明瞭な where the 激しく揺する is now, although Dr Rebmann 示唆するd scientists should 熟考する/考慮する it その上の to 確認する its exact origin.?

によれば 航空宇宙局, Earth is 砲撃するd with more than 100 トンs of dust and sand-sized 粒子s every day, but most 燃やす up before reaching the 惑星's surface.?

Meteorites the size of a ゴルフ ball 攻撃する,衝突する Earth every few years, but the frequency of them 衝撃ing 居住させるd areas is even smaller.?

They tend to be more easily spotted when they land in a?砂漠, as they contrast with the stark landscape and are いっそう少なく likely to be covered in dirt or vegetation.?

'It's very rare, in our temperate 環境s, to find them,' Dr Rebmann said.?

'They 合併する with other elements. On the other 手渡す, in a 砂漠 環境, we can find them more easily.'?

Dr Richard Greenwood,?研究 Fellow at the Open University's planetary and space sciences, said he couldn't be 確かな the 激しく揺する was a?meteorite based on the 地元の 報告(する)/憶測s.?

'Lots of people 接触する me with 見本s that sound plausible but turn out to be terrestrial 激しく揺するs,' he told MailOnline.

'You would be amazed how many 石/投石するs 落ちるing out of the sky are not meteorites.

'So it could be a 本物の 出来事/事件 but more 詳細(に述べる)s needed.'?

This isn't the first time a person has been 攻撃する,衝突する by a space 激しく揺する; in November 1954,?Alabama woman Ann Hodges was 攻撃する,衝突する by a grapefruit-sized?meteorite.?

Explained: The difference between an asteroid, meteorite and other space 激しく揺するs

An asteroid is a large chunk of 激しく揺する left over from 衝突/不一致s or the 早期に solar system. Most are 位置を示すd between 火星 and Jupiter in the Main Belt.

A 惑星 is a 激しく揺する covered in ice, methane and other 構内/化合物s. Their 軌道s take them much その上の out of the solar system.

A meteor is what 天文学者s call a flash of light in the atmosphere when 破片 燃やすs up.

This 破片 itself is known as a meteoroid. Most are so small they are vapourised in the atmosphere.

If any of this meteoroid makes it to Earth, it is called a meteorite.

Meteors, meteoroids and meteorites 普通は o riginate from asteroids and 惑星s.

For example, if Earth passes through the tail of a 惑星, much of the 破片 燃やすs up in the atmosphere, forming a meteor にわか雨.
