Raised meteorite found by citizen Moroccan at the beginning of the year 2012 the last of significant interest to scientists meteorites and asteroids in the world, where he appeared and was meteor separated from the planet "Mercury" Mercury and fell to the ground after that, which - if confirmed he already Mercury - it will be meteorite rare and valuable in every sense of the word.
Moroccan citizen who found the meteorite in the "Erfoud" southern Morocco and sold first to the one Moroccan citizens appeared greenish color, and sold the Moroccan citizen who bought turn to "Stefan Ralao" Stefan Ralew interested collect meteorites, has asked merchant Moroccan "Ralao" dearly this strange stone, and after hesitation "Ralao" to buy the stone had to buy it after remarking that the greenness strange cortex polished resulting from high temperatures suffered by the meteorite as he entered the Earth's atmosphere and inadvertent contact layers of the atmosphere.
Expert meteorites "Randy Korotev" Randy Korotev said they expected at the beginning that a meteorite normal and classified species of meteors "Okondraat" Achondrite This kind about 90 percent of the meteorites falling on the ground and formed mostly of rock, not metal, and that there a small percentage of this type of meteorites which pieces separated from asteroids and resulted from the high temperatures in the soles of large objects, and this type of meteorites problem mostly from the nucleus of iron and crust of rock constitute only about 5 percent of these meteorites.
Researchers have noted that this meteorite is very important because it constitutes the soles orbs huge any bigger than asteroids regular, it must be and it came from one of the asteroids large such as asteroid "Vista -4" asteroid 4 Vesta, or whether he came from inner planets such as Mercury Mercury or Mars Mars or perhaps of Moon Moon, and even answers scientists to these questions must first analyze the chemical composition of the meteorite, and immediately sent the owner meteor "Stefan Ralao" meteorite to "Tony Irving" Tony Irving of the University of "Washington" University of Washington where he will meet experts meteorites There study meteorites exotic and incomprehensible, where sent to this university some meteorites believed to be from the moon to be analyzed, being the sole global expert that can provide the answers.
Knowing ratio basic elements in the meteorite indicates its origin and its source and evolution, these elements is the ratio of "iron and manganese" iron / manganese and "isotope ratios of oxygen radioactive" ratios of its oxygen isotopes is different from the oxygen atom variants of the oxygen atom which is like " footprint "that reveal about the origin of these meteorites.
Astronomer "Tony Irving" he said in a "conference of the 44 science moon and planets" 44the Lunar and Planetary Science Conference, held in March 2013, said last that the rocks in northwest Africa Northwest Africa 7325 and bearing the geocode NWA 7325 and which include the State of Morocco Arab unusual chemistry, to the extent that tests conducted by the U.S. probe "Messinger" Messenger which revolves around the planet Mercury on the rocks showed it very similar to the rocks in the north-west Africa, a region that was found on the meteorite!
But "Korotev" bucking "Irving" in it and said that the percentage of magnesium in the meteorite high proportion of iron are very few, and these observations have not seen on the surface of the planet Mercury on analyzes sensor "Messinger," but "Irving" said we have learned through our study of the geological planets car and asteroids that there anomaly occurs in the installation of some celestial bodies from time to time due to environmental factors different from the sun, for example, as the meteor "crystallized" crystallized by about 4.5 billion years and this is what makes scientists do not consider it of the planet Mercury, where Omar lunar rocks ranging between 2.4 to 3.4 billion years and the rocks in the planet Mercury was supposed to crystallize in the same period also, or after and not before, which convinced the world, "Korotev" where he said that theoretical studies indicate that lunar rocks crystallized by about 4.5 billion years, But so far have not found a meteorite from the moon 4.5 billion years old! This is because all meteorites huge were collide moonscape at the beginning of the emergence of the solar system, including the moon and formed craters Lunar by about 4 to 3.8 billion years ago, and this process is probably what occurred also on Mercury, but astronomers are asking a question which you stayed this meteorite so long dreaded of time in space? The most important question also, if we assume that this meteorite is not from the planet Mercury Where did it come from?
Says "Korotev" also said this meteorite "spam" Chemistry abnormal, and said that if that someone has analyzed well said he was not meteorites, but "Korotev" says he natural thing to be chemistry this meteorite abnormal and ذلم because of a sun for billions of years, By analyzing the meteorite's exposure to the sun we can make sure that the planet Mercury because the planet closest to the sun and the most affected by radiation
As for the cause of the greenish color of the meteorite answer "Korotev" that cause chlorosis is "metal silicates" silicate mineral mixture with metal "chrome" chromium, but the most important question of color is whether the meteorite actually came from the planet Mercury? Wait to answer over the next analysis.
