The first meteorite collided with the earth 3.48 billion years ago new study claims

Meteorite and Asteroid are both such rocky calamities, which can bring great devastation when they hit the earth. This has happened in the past as well. Scientists estimate that millions of years ago, dinosaurs were wiped out from the earth due to the destruction caused by an asteroid collision. Similarly, meteorites have also been hitting our planet. For years, scientists have been groping their history. Now they have detected 3.48 billion years old rock pieces. Scientists think that this may be the first evidence of a meteorite hitting the Earth. Pieces of rock have been found in Australia.

scientists It seems that when the meteorite would have hit the earth, it would have caused great destruction. The meteorite would have been shattered and scattered here and there and its pieces would have melted in the hot atmosphere of the earth. When the earth would have cooled, then the remains of the meteorite would have come into existence again. The researchers presented their findings last week at the 54th Lunar and Planetary Science Conference, although they are yet to be reviewed.

Report Scientists have discovered evidence of meteorites from the Pilbara Craton in Western Australia, according to. The oldest evidence of meteorite impact has also been found in the Pilbara Craton, which is believed to be 3.47 billion years old. Apart from that, remains of 3.45 billion years old meteorites have also been found in the Kaapwal Craton in South Africa. The current evidence is estimated at 3.48 billion years, which is a record.

told It is known that in the year 2019, scientists had reached these remains, which are being called spherules. With the help of isotopes, scientists dated the remains. It is considered to be a very reliable dating technique. After dating, scientists came to the conclusion that the chemical composition of the remains does not make them from this planet. Interestingly, this study of the researchers is yet to be reviewed. Many studies giving evidence of meteorites hitting the Earth have been controversial. Confrontation has also been seen among the scientists. What is the stand of other scientists on the recent study, it will be a matter to be seen.
