First research results on the 'spectacular meteorite fall' of Flensburg

The reason for the spectacle was a meteoroid entering the Earth’s atmosphere and partially burning up. Planetologists have been studying a part of the meteorite. They found out that the meteorite contains minerals that formed under the presence of water on small planetesimals in the early history of our solar system.
