A meteorite fragment that crashed through a homeowner's roof in Henry County, Georgia, has been identified by researchers as older than the Earth itself. The fireball that produced the fragment exploded in the sky on June 26, 2025. Scientists studying the meteorite, including Scott Harris from the University of Georgia’s Franklin College of Arts and Sciences, determined that the fragment is approximately 4.56 billion years old, making it about 20 million years older than the Earth. The meteorite's age suggests it formed shortly before the planet's formation, providing valuable insight into the early solar system.
