The 30-ton meteorite rushed to Earth 4,000 years ago
Although no measurements have been made, but based on observations, scientists estimate that the meteorite is about 2m in diameter. The largest meteorite ever discovered to date is the Hobaa meteorite , which weighs 66 tons and was discovered in Namibia.
According to Mario Vesconi, president of the Chaco Astronomical Association, the meteor hit the land between Chaco and Santiago del Estero (in Argentina) during a meteor shower that occurred 4,000 years ago.
The original meteorite originated from the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter , weighing about 800 tons. As it progressed to Earth, it split itself into many small meteorites, scattered over an area of about 320 square kilometers.
