Aqui vão algumas imagens do meteorito condrítico de Porangaba, SP, cuja queda aconteceu na sexta-feira 9 de janeiro às 15:35 hs aproximadamente, testemunhada por Julio Carvalho da Silva e seu filho Eduardo, caseiros do sítio Alhambra, do cineasta Paulo Gama. Eles contam que escutaram um estampido prolongado e um som vibratório no céu antes de uma série de quedas retumbantes, uma delas presenciada por Julio Carvalho da Silva a escassos metros de distância. Logo após, se dirigiu ao local e achou uma pequena cratera de impacto (buraco na terra de uns 10 cm de diâmetro por 25 cm de profundidade, mas não teve coragem de pôr a mão. Seu filho Edu foi chamar Paulo Gama, que também tinha escutado o som, e este, com muito cuidado para verificar se a pedra não estava quente, foi o primeiro a tocá-la.
Visitamos o local no sábado 17 de janeiro e lá estava Maria Elizabeth Zucolotto, astrônoma especialista em meteorítica que já tinha examinado a pedra. Esta apresenta uma característica crosta de fusão preta e em dois pontos tinha sido fraturada sendo possível ver a simples vista diversos côndrulos metálicos.
Espero que gostem.
Grande Abraço,

Soon after, he went to the site and found a small impact crater (hole in the ground of about 10 cm in diameter and 25 cm deep, but did not dare lay a hand. His son was called Edu Paulo Gama, who also had heard the sound, and this very carefully to see if the stone was not hot, was the first to touch her.
