A meteor shower in South Africa left spectators in awe as it lit up the sky and scattered pieces across a 100kilometer stretch. Distinguished scholars from various universities were fascinated by the event, examining a 90gram fragment believed to be from asteroid 4 Vesta. Meteorites provide valuable insights into the shaping of the early solar system, but the global collection is still incomplete. South Africa has the potential to be a significant contributor to the field of planetary science due to its vast and diverse landscape.
