Meteorites found near Berlin are rare – “So far there is only material from eleven impacts”. The name “Aubrit” has its origins in the French town of Aubrés, where a meteorite of this type fell to earth in 1836.

A piece of such an aubrite is exhibited in the Museum of Natural History, which helped identify the new meteorite. When the next full moon will be in the sky - read the list with all the dates.
