A Piece of Mars is Being Sold in the USA

A piece of Mars is being sold in the USA. The meteorite weighs almost 25 kg. This rare stone landed on Earth after a powerful collision of an asteroid with Mars. As a result of the impact, the fragment was ejected into space. Millions of years later, it entered Earth's gravitational field and landed in the Sahara Desert, in the Agadez region. A professional meteorite hunter discovered it in 2023. The auction will take place on July 16 as part of the Geek Week scientific week. The price for the lot has already exceeded 1.9 million dollars. It is expected that the final amount could significantly exceed the stated upper estimate of 4 million dollars.
