What I did:

I decided to read up on some news on Science. I found this article on a long-lost extinct meteorite which was found, hence I decided to make a summary of the article and learn new words.

What I learned:

Words I learnt:
Hit-and-run: accidental or wilful damage done and escapes before being discovered, or damage caused in this way.
Elusive: difficult to find, catch

This meteorite is a new variety and it may be the first documented example of an ‘extinct’ meteorite. Fragments of this meteorite are rare. The forming of L chondrites, another meteorite fragment, may be from the cosmic collision with this probable rare meteorite, forming them 470 million years ago. However, scientists have said it is hard to prove.


Summary:

This article is about a new variety of meteorite nicknamed Öst 65, that was found.
