Meteorite Crashes into New Jersey Kitchen What You Didnt Know About Cosmic Visitors 1

Nothing terrible, just a meteorite that has just crashed into your kitchen after breaking the roof. But that's what actually happened in New Jersey during the Ida Aquarid meteor shower, which is active from April 19th to May 28th and peaking on May 5th through 6th. The space rock itself was the size of a pork roll sandwich. It slammed through the roof and hit the wooden floor, ruining it. Astronomers believe it might have come from a cosmic snowball traveling far, far away from Earth. This meteor shower is famous for its vast meteors, leaving long, glowing trails. The central New Jersey authorities believe the meteorite that sneaked into the house originated from that meteor shower. If you think such space guests are a rare occurrence, that's not exactly true. About once a year, a large car-sized asteroid enters Earth's atmosphere, turns into an impressive fireball and burns. #Meteorites #Space #WhatIf
On a quiet night in, a meteorite sails through your window.

How did it get here from space? What would it do to your body? Could it be worth money? Should you touch the meteorite?
