HOTS Meteorite Confirmed… HOTS has an update about something it mentioned last week: the metallic object believed to be a meteorite that punched a hole in the roof of a home in Hopewell Township, New Jersey, on May 8 was in fact just that. The Associated Press reports scientists with The College of New Jersey (TCNJ) determined the 6-by-4-inch object, which weighs about 2.2 pounds, is a rare stony chondrite meteorite. The team also estimated the meteorite to be approximately 4.56 billion years old! HOTS is sure everyone is still thanking their lucky stars nobody was injured by its arrival.
