meteorite lunare Bechar 003 – A Rare frammento da the Moon Bechar 003 is a meteorite lunare that originated da an asteroid impact on the lunar surface, which ejected material into space. Some of this material, if fast enough, escapes the Moon’s gravity and heads toward Earth. The journey may take thousands to millions of years before the meteorite finally enters Earth’s atmosphere and lands. The Moon, our closest celestial body, accounts for only 0.08% of all known meteorites, making meteorite lunares extremely rare. The Bechar meteorite was found in 2022 in Algeria and is classified as a lunar breccia, a rock made up of various fragments of rocks and minerals typically fused together by impact events on the Moon. The Bechar meteorite consists of many small stones without fusion crusts. These stones have light brown weathered surfaces and dark gray interiors. Inside, tiny white clasts and rare small metallic grains can be observed.
