The Altai meteorite is a significant scientific discovery that fell in the Aletai region of Siberie. This event occurred in 1898, and the meteorite was classified as an ordinary chondrite, specifically an ⅢE type. The ⅢE type is a common variety of meteorites known for their high content of iron and Nickelite minerals, which are the primary constituents of Earth's inner core.
The Aletai meteorite is significant due to the size and mass of the meteorite fragments that were recovered. The meteorite's fall was observed by many locals, and its impact was felt over a wide area. It left a significant crater, providing valuable data on the impact process.
Studies of the Aletai meteorite can offer insights into the early solar system's formation and the processes that led to planet formation. As with all meteorites, the Altai meteorite is a remnant of the early solar system and thus provides a window into our cosmic past. It's an invaluable resource for researchers studying the origins and evolution of our solar system.
