Technically every rock is a space rock though since we're in space????

It might look just like a generic rock, but this rock is special because it doesn't even come from this planet. It's a chunk of a meteorite called pallasite, that came from space and it's magnetic because it's mostly made of iron and nickel.

The largest meteorite on earth is named Hoba located in Namibia, and has never been moved. This is the biggest naturally occurring piece of iron known on Earth's surface at 6.5 sq mtrs. It's thought to have landed around 80,000 years ago.

Meteorites that have landed on our planet over the past hundred years have been found to include the five fundamental units of DNA and RNA - adenine, guanine, cytosine, thymine, and uracil. These, when linked with sugars and phosphates, form the genetic code essential for all Earthly life.

The Murchison Meteorite is a famous meteorite that fell near the town of Murchison, Victoria, in Australia, in 1969. It is known for containing a wide array of organic compounds, including amino acids, which has led scientists to believe that it may contain clues about the origins of life on Earth. The meteorite is estimated to be over 4.6 billion years old and is thought to have originated from the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. It is one of the most studied meteorites in history and continues to fascinate scientists and researchers worldwide.
