Kimondo kilichogonga nyumba nchini Marekani kina umri mkubwa kuliko sayari ya Dunia, wanasayansi wamesema.
Kitu hicho kilisafiri angani katikati ya mchana kabla ya kulipuka katika anga la jimbo la Georgia tarehe 26 Juni, shirika la NASA limethibitisha.
Watafiti kutoka Chuo Kikuu cha Georgia walichunguza kipande cha mwamba huo kilichopenya paa la nyumba katika jiji la McDonough.
Walibaini kuwa, kwa kuzingatia aina ya kimondo hicho, kinakadiriwa kuundwa takriban miaka bilioni 4.56 iliyopita, na hivyo kuwa takribani miaka milioni 20 zaidi ya umri wa Dunia.

A meteorite that crashed into a home in the US is older than planet Earth, scientists have said.
The object flew through the skies in broad daylight before exploding across the state of Georgia on 26 June, Nasa confirmed.
Researchers at the University of Georgia examined a fragment of the rock that pierced the roof of a home in the city of McDonough.
They found that, based on the type of meteorite, it is expected to have formed 4.56 billion years ago, making it roughly 20 million years older than Earth.
