A team of divers led by astrophysicist Avi Loeb embarked on a challenging mission to retrieve a meteor from the bottom of the Pacific Ocean. Crashed off the coast of Papua New Guinea in 2014. The meteor is believed to be the first recognized interstellar object. 50 tiny spherules, or molten droplets, were discovered by Loeb and his team using a magnetic sled deployed 2 km beneath the ocean’s surface. Measuring around half a millimeter in size, these spherules are likely composed of a steel-titanium alloy stronger than regular meteoric iron. The unique properties of the material suggest it could … Continue reading Divers Uncover Extraterrestrial Treasures in the Pacific: The Mysteries of Interstellar Material Revealed
