We saw and touched a smaller, metallic meteorite fragment last year in a museum. Touching it was an incredible experience. It had a very noticable, distinct smell. I couldnt get enough of running my fingers along the cold, pitted surface of it.
One of my kids still sometimes snickers and offhandedly comments "this metal was once a star" when he sees or handles solid metallic objects.
I'd definitely try to buy something like this if I had "fuck you" amounts of money
- ljlolel 1y ago> “this metal was once a star” So are you…
- isoprophlex 1y agoHaha yes, but now they get to feel special for identifying especially cool bits of star.
- plasticchris 1y agoSeems like you would need a pretty hot part of a star to fuse helium into metal
- ljlolel 1y agoYou are an ESPECIALLY cool bit!
- Avalaxy 1y ago> It had a very noticable, distinct smell. The smell of people's hands touching it repeatedly?
