NASA, explained the origins of the object that crashed into a Florida home last month and is believed to have come from space. According to the statement, this piece did indeed come from space, the International Space Station to be precise. According to the research, approximately 10.5 centimeters It was stated that the long cylindrical object came from the cargo pallet used for old batteries. The object that fell on March 8 penetrated the roof of a house and penetrated two layers of concrete before reaching the ground.

According to the statement, this small piece is the part that houses the batteries. Part of a pallet weighing 2630 kilograms. Under normal conditions, pieces left behind from the International Space Station burn up in the atmosphere due to friction. Made from a material that can withstand harsh conditions, this piece also appears to have withstood the fall of the atmosphere.

Not the first piece to fall from space

It is actually not that rare for pieces from space to fall onto our planet, but this piece does Ability to withstand atmospheric friction quite remarkable. NASA expected a similar event to occur in this case. Now scientists will try to figure out why this piece isn’t burning.

This may even provide important information for new research in the future. Venus The structure of some planets, such as Earth, is quite hot and hard. Perhaps this unfortunate event will provide new clues to explore these planets.
