With a weight that rivals a baby elephant, a meteorite that fell from
space some 30,000 years ago is likely Britain's largest space rock. And
after much sleuthing, researchers think they know where it came from and
how it survived so long without weathering away. The giant rock,
spanning about 1.6 feet (0.5 meters) across and weighing 205 pounds (93
kilograms), was likely discovered by an archaeologist about 200 years
ago at a burial site created by the Druids (an ancient Celtic
priesthood) near Stonehenge, according to said Colin Pillinger, a
professor of planetary sciences at the Open University.
