The meteorite was widely observed by meteor camera networks, doorbell cameras, and eyewitnesses, and 213.5\u2009g (around 35% of the final recovered mass) was collected quickly\u2014within 12\u2009h\u2014of its fall. It, therefore, represents an opportunity to study very pristine extra-terrestrial material and requires appropriate careful curation. The meteorite fell in a narrow (600\u2009m across) strewn field ~8.5\u2009km long and oriented approximately east\u2013west, with the largest single fragment at the farthest (east) end in the town of Winchcombe, Gloucestershire. Of the total known mass of 602\u2009g, around 525\u2009g is curated at the Natural History Museum, London. A sample analysis plan was devised within a month of the fall to enable scientists in the UK and beyond to quickly access and analyze fresh material. The sample is stored long term in a nitrogen atmosphere glove box. Preliminary macroscopic and electron microscopic examinations show it to be a CM2 chondrite, and despite an early search, no fragile minerals, such as halite, sulfur, etc., were observed.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sara S.
