After tracking a meteorite that blazed across Scottish skies this summer, researchers believe fragments could be scattered across Highland peaks! The UK Fireball Alliance is asking hikers to help find these cosmic treasures while exploring munros like Ben Alder and Stob Coire Easain.
On July 3rd, a bright meteor exploded over northern Scotland, with pieces up to 10kg potentially landing in the wilderness. Professor Luke Daly, who found the largest UK meteorite fragment in 2021, leads the search effort.
If you’re lucky enough to find a space rock while bagging a munro, wrap it carefully and note your GPS location! This incredible citizen science project could help unlock secrets from outer space.
