14 kg heavy meteorite found in Sweden
Two Swedish geologists were fortunate in this regard. He discovered an iron meteorite weighing about 14 kg. This is the alleged main piece of meteorite impact on 7 November, as the Stockholm-based Natural History Museum announced on Tuesday.
Two swades near Encoping, northwest of Stockholm, made a rare discovery and handed it over to the museum. According to the museum, this is the first time in 60 years that a meteorite has been found during an accident in Sweden.

On 7 November, countless people from the Swedish region saw a ball of fire that lit up the sky for about three seconds.
Astronomer Eric Stampels of Uppsala University calculated the approximate location of the impact where small fragments of an iron meteorite were later found. The main piece now discovered is about 30 centimeters long and probably represents the largest remainder of the celestial body, which, according to Stampel, originally weighed an estimated nine tons when entering the atmosphere. Some small parts are still suspected in the area.
