@sothebys: A 54-pound #Martian #meteorite — the largest known piece of #Mars ever found on Earth — has landed at #SothebysNewYork. Ejected from the Martian surface by a massive #asteroid strike, it traveled 140 million miles through space, and hurtled through Earth’s atmosphere before crashing in the Sahara Desert. Hear more from Sotheby’s Cassandra Hatton. Starring in Geek Week, NWA 16788 is on free public view in our New York galleries now until 15 July, before the live auction on 16 July.

I’m a Tuareg from the country where this fell. It was escorted by the army, which has someone I know to capital of Niamey. Tuaregs found it they took it from them. This belongs to my country and to the Tuaregs who found it, they should compensate the people of the land where they took it from. This rock belongs to Africa.
