Campo Del Cielo Meteorite Chunk of Space Rock Fell in Argentina
About 4,000 to 5,000 years ago, a huge chunk of space rock fell in Argentina, but it didn't fell in one piece. It broke up as it entered the earth's atmosphere creating a meteorite shower with pieces ranging from a few grams to several tons.
