History and Details About The Campo De Cielo

In 1813, a large Campo de Cielo meteorite estimated at about 1400 lbs., was brought to Buenos Aires and put in a British museum.

This meteorite is a Nickel - Iron Octahedrite containing approximately 87% iron, 6.62% nickel, silicate inclusions and some other trace metals not from planet Earth. This meteorite is part of the interplanetary core of an extinct planet made up of mostly molten iron created in the formation of the celestial heavens. In a time of violent bombarding, they would collide into each other, breaking apart and becoming asteroids. Cooling very slowly over millions and millions of years, the iron crystallized into octahedral shapes within the asteroid. As they flew around like balls hit on a pool table they are attracted to the gravitational pull of planets.

When they hit the atmosphere they become a meteor at the cruising speed of a bullet shot from a gun. They can cross our nation from coast to coast in about 6 seconds. If they are lucky enough to make it to the ground without disintegrating, blowing up or vaporizing, it then becomes a meteorite. This meteorite presumably comes from the asteroid belt between Jupiter and Mars.

The Meteorite is on a special custom display stand made of steel. Hidden behind the removable metal covers are heavy-duty wheels for easy moving. A plaque mounted on the base gives the vital statistics for easy reading.
