Baszkówka, Stony meteorite in Baszkówka village, Poland

Baszkówka is a stony meteorite that fell in 1994 in a village south of Warsaw. The specimen weighs approximately 15 kilograms and displays distinctive surface depressions created by its passage through the atmosphere.

The meteorite fell on August 25, 1994, near the village of Baszkówka. The discovery proved scientifically important as it helped researchers understand cosmic material better.

The meteorite displays distinctive surface patterns that mark it as a celestial object. These features tell the story of its journey through space to reach the ground.

The meteorite is kept at the Geological Museum PIG-PIB in Warsaw and can be viewed there. The location is easy to reach and offers a good chance to see this cosmic find up close.

The find connects Earth with another meteorite from the Sahara due to similar chemical makeup. This suggests both may have come from the same cosmic body that traveled through space for millions of years.
