About This Campo del Cielo Meteorite

Roughly 4,000–4,500 years ago, a massive cluster of iron-nickel fragments streaked across the sky and slammed into what is now Chaco Province, Argentina. Locals had known of the metal for centuries before Spanish explorers first documented the site in 1576. Consequently, Campo del Cielo now stands as one of the most historically significant meteorite falls ever recorded.
