NASA Confirms that the Object That Hit the House Came from “Space”

NASA, explained the origin of the object that crashed into a house in Florida last month and was suspected to have come from space. According to the statement, this piece did indeed come from space, from the International Space Station to be exact. According to the investigations, approximately 10.5 centimeters It was stated that the tall cylindrical object came from the cargo pallet used for old batteries. The object that fell on March 8 penetrated the roof of a house and penetrated two layers of concrete before reaching the ground.

According to the statement, this small piece is the part that carries the batteries. Part of a 2630 kilogram pallet. Under normal conditions, pieces left from the International Space Station burn up in the atmosphere due to friction. Made from a material that can withstand harsh conditions, this piece also appears to have withstood the fall in the atmosphere.

Not the first piece to fall from space

It is not actually a very rare event for pieces from space to fall on our planet, but this piece Ability to resist atmospheric friction quite remarkable. NASA expected a similar event to occur in this case. Now scientists will try to figure out why this piece does not burn.

In fact, this may provide important information for new research in the future. Venus The structure of some planets, such as Earth, is quite hot and harsh. Perhaps this unfortunate event will provide new clues to explore these planets.
