Glanerbrug, Meteorite impact site in Glanerbrug, Netherlands
A meteorite weighing 855 grams crashed through the roof of a house on Gronausestraat, breaking into hundreds of pieces upon impact.
On April 7, 1990, at 19:32:38, the meteorite entered Earth's atmosphere, creating a bright light visible from the Netherlands, Germany, and Denmark.
Scientists from Naturalis Biodiversity Center and Utrecht University conducted extensive research on the meteorite fragments, determining its classification as an LL5 chondrite.
A large boulder with a commemorative plaque now marks the location where the meteorite struck the house, which was demolished in 2005.
The meteorite traveled through space for 22.5 million years before its arrival on Earth, as determined by radio-chemical investigations.
