This is the result of testing on meteoroid samples that fell in the United Arab Emirates.

The International Astronomy Center communicates immediately with its partners from the "NASA" agency

A team from the International Center for Astronomy, in cooperation with some official bodies, has discovered meteorite samples, thanks to research conducted in the field of its recent fall in the United Arab Emirates.

The engineer Mohamed Shawkat Odeh, director of the International Center for Astronomy, told "Sabd" that the team had carried out a research on the potential meteorite of the region previously identified for the meteorite site, divided into four groups. After explaining to the team members the potential of the meteorite and determining the area of ​​each group, the groups began to search for the potential meteorite, at the end of which two possible samples were obtained, the first black rock and the other rocky metal showing signs of rust.

He pointed out that by performing rapid tests, the magnetic properties of the second sample were discovered: they attracted a magnetic piece. The center had immediately contacted NASA's partners at the NASA's US space agency to show samples. Rust signs indicate that the sample is on the ground for some time, pointing out that the center will conduct the second phase, namely laboratory analysis of the sample to confirm the components and what .

The cameras of the Emirates astronomical network to monitor meteors and meteorites recorded a very bright fireball appeared in the skies of the United Arab Emirates on Tuesday at 19 hours and 40 minutes and 11 seconds, time of the United Arab Emirates. The network of cameras was created by the International Astronomy Center in different parts of the United Arab Emirates, and managed by the Center in cooperation with the US Space Agency "NASA".

The network is composed of several stations. Each station has 16 astronomical cameras directed towards the sky and automatically films all Shahab appearing in the sky. The station then automatically sends video clips to the main center of Abu Dhabi.

"The bullet was filmed through an astronomical camera from the Ramah station and was also filmed by another astronomical camera from Al Wajn station.The shooting was filmed with the help of two cameras, allowing to the trajectory of the fireball to enter the atmosphere. " The Earth, by the calculation of spherical triangles, and after carrying out the necessary calculations and having introduced the direction and speed of the wind in the upper atmosphere layers, it appeared that the atmosphere in orbit and burned causing the fireball is a crime revolving around the sun at 384 million km and at 17 degrees Celsius For terrestrial orbit And the sun, and its speed was entering the atmosphere of 67 thousand kilometers per hour!

He added: The calculations indicate that the fire began to burn at an altitude of 93 km from the ground surface, between the feet and Umm Zemul, and directed the ball north-west until the burning ends at an altitude of 35 km near the Razin region. The orb is not completely burned and some parts of it have reached the desert of the United Arab Emirates as a meteorite, and as the meteorite can not be determined, calculations show that the Meteor location is likely to be slightly east of the fireball trajectory, due to the direction of the west wind that day, in the fall , and most likely It indicates that the arrival meteorite event fell to the ground in the area near the village of Arabian Nights Resort.

The estimates ranged from the mass of the meteorite, which reached between 2 and 10 grams (1 to 3 cm), with the possibility that its mass is greater. Meteorites can sometimes have great scientific value, especially from the moon or other planets. .
