Meteor showers, which happen when our planet traverses through debris streams left behind by passing comets, are a fairly common occurrence. While the tiny rocks usually burn up when they collide with our atmosphere, resulting in what we call "shooting stars," every so often one manages to survive the impact and land on Earth. That is precisely what appears to have happened in Costa Rica recently.

    Endgame, it’s a 4.5 billion year old rock. I’m pretty sure it’ll go to a laboratory instead of them finding a way to use it. Good thought though
