If that rock flies towards you and you don't duck in time, you're late. It appears that the cosmos is NOT a safe place to be in!

Onderwerp: [Rockhounds] Sound of meteorite striking Earth caught on doorbell camera

A doorbell camera has captured the remarkable moment a meteorite struck the
ground outside a home, scattering dust and producing audible impact
sounds—a historic first, according to University of Alberta scientist Chris
Herd.

In July 2024, Laura Kelly and her partner Joe discovered the rock outside
their home on Prince Edward Island, Canada, marking the province's first
recorded meteorite fall.

The meteorite left a small dent in the walkway and the rock was confirmed
to be ordinary chondrite, the most common type of space rock to strike
Earth.
