was staying in the house and they said, what is this on the drive? i came out, and we looked at this pile of what looked like crushed coal. what on earth could it be? it must have come down from the sky. and you start to think, is it a piece of plane debris or something like that but we didn t think it looked like that, so even then we started thinking perhaps it has come down from space. thinking perhaps it has come down from space- from space. after millions of years hurtlin: from space. after millions of years hurtling through from space. after millions of years hurtling through space, from space. after millions of years hurtling through space, the - from space. after millions of years hurtling through space, the rock i from space. after millions of years| hurtling through space, the rock sat on the driver less than a day before being handed to scientists at the natural history museum in london. nothing like this rock has been found nothing like this rock has been found in n
earth and been collected around the world, but only 1200 have eyewitnesses to their fall. only 51, a rare carbonaceous carbonates like this one. researchers say there might be more progress on the metre right in the area, so are asking residents to keep an eye out for unusualjet black rocks in case any more space debris ended up in their driveway. 33 years since the hit film coming to america was released, the team are back together for coming two america, and it has been a rip roaring success. since its release on friday, it has become the most streamed new release of the last 12 months. the movie tells the story of the royal family from the fictional african nation of zamunda, who once again are heading to new york. hello, i am akeem joffer, king of zamunda. you are the heir to the throne.
why is this space rock so particularly special? it s 4.6 billion years, older than any rock on the earth so it is like a time capsule and takes us all the way back to the birth of the solar system. this is a carbonaceous meteorite, so contains all the building blocks for the solar system so it potentially contains things like organic and amino acids and can tell us about how life started on earth. this is outside source live from the bbc newsroom. our lead story is: the queen says she s saddened to learn about the challenges harry and megan have faced revealed in their interview with oprah winfrey. in a buckingham palace statement the queen said issues of race will be taken very seriously. let s update you on the pandemic in the us. it will turn to the us in a moment.
meteorite. they are very rare and to be the first person to identify and realise almost instantly that it was this rare type, it was almost a dream come true. i thought we would never see one like in the uk and to realise that it was such a rare type, was such a rare moment. it was a one off, basically. bhd type, was such a rare moment. it was a one-off, basically. a one-off, basically. and then there was a search a one-off, basically. and then there was a search to a one-off, basically. and then there was a search to see a one-off, basically. and then there was a search to see if a one-off, basically. and then there was a search to see if there - a one-off, basically. and then there was a search to see if there was i a one-off, basically. and then there was a search to see if there was any more in the surrounding area. it was a search to see if there was any more in the surrounding area. it was interestin: more in the surrounding area. it was interesting because more in the
to the birth of our solar system. this is a carbonaceous chondrite type meteorite, so it contains all the building blocks for our solar system. so potentially this meteorite contains things like simple organics and amino acids that could tell us about how life got started on our earth. it also probably contains water bearing minerals, so we could learn about why we have the oceans on the earth and why we may have had oceans on other planets in our solar system. and liftoff of osiris rex! while this discovery weighs in at almost probes to half a kilo, nasa and the japanese space agency both previously sent probes to asteroids, at huge cost, to return just a few grams of pristine space rock. some 65,000 meteorites have fallen to earth and been collected the world, but only 1,200 had eyewitnesses to their fall. and, of these, only 51 are rare carbonaceous chondrites like this one. researchers say there may yet be more fragments of the meteorite in the winchcombe area, so they re asking re
