Cameras from the Vigi-Seal project in France detected a meteorite entering a land 100 km from Bordeaux at 22:43 on Saturday night. 126 people gathered to find the fallen meteorite. “This meteorite, which fell a few days ago, contains a lot of valuable information for scientists because it has not changed the state of the Earth,” said Michael Wilmart of the Astronomy Center.
Euro News reports that space hearts in France are trying to find an apricot-sized meteorite that hit the ground in the southwestern part of the country a week ago.
On the night of February 27, more than a hundred people gathered to find a small meteor attached to the cameras of the Viji-Seal project, which was set up to monitor and examine meteorites of various sizes falling to Earth.

On the night of February 27, more than a hundred people gathered to find a small meteor attached to the cameras of the Viji-Seal project, which was set up to monitor and examine meteorites of various sizes falling to Earth.
The Maurox Observatory, which is involved in the project, which includes about 100 cameras, discovered the meteorite into the Earth’s atmosphere 100 km from Bordeaux at 22:43 on Saturday night.
So far, 126 volunteers have participated in the study to find the meteorite, which weighs 150 grams. Volunteers collaborate by sharing information about the areas they are looking for on the project site.
Informative posters were hung in the areas most prone to meteor showers.
‘Like looking for needles in a sample’
Michael Wilmart from the A Seal Over (Open Sky) Astronomy Center at the Maurox Observatory. “Meteorites are the remnants of the Solar System’s creation and are valuable because they do not come into contact with elements. The meteorite, which fell a few days ago, contains invaluable information to scientists due to the unchanging state of the earth.“Found in the description.
Wilmart states that the chances of finding the meteorite are slim,It’s like looking for a needle in a haystack. We expect people to stumble upon a meteor shower by browsing their gardens or on the roadside.He said
The Fripon Network (Fireball Recovery and Interplanetary Observation Network) is part of the VG-SEAL project, which aims to locate and collect about a dozen meteorites that fall in France each year.
