Asteroid 2008 TC3 - Almahata Sitta (Sudan)

Dear collectors & friends, I am glad to be able to present to you some specimens of the meteorite Almahatta Sitta/Asteroid 2008 TC3 on my homepage. In total, the available amount is 280 g. Among the material there are some outstanding individuals. 2008 TC3 is the first asteroid which after its discovery collided with the earth and came down as meteorite in the North of Sudan. I was totally captivated by this event. My fascination was even bigger when I saw the first pictures of this highly interesting meteorite. Via the following links you can obtain comprehensive information from first detection of the asteroid up to detailed analyses of the meteorite. Best collector’s greetings Siegfried http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2008_TC3 http://www.oosa.unvienna.org/pdf/pres/stsc2009/tech-25.pdf http://www.newscientist.com/article/dn16635-first-tracked-space-rock-recovered-after-impact Bildquelle: NASA
