The Desert Fireball Network observations allowed us to locate a meteorite dropping place on a 500 meter line. Meteorite struck the Earth in a very inaccessible part of Lake Eyre. The object was discovered during a three-day expedition involving Curtin University researchers who used to find meteorite in addition to data from the Desert Fireball Network, air observer, dron and used local Aboriginal guides. The weighed 1.7 kilogram meteorite was found in the ground for over 40 centimeters just before heavy rain, which would most likely prevent it from being found later. Meteorite explorers have asked the Aboriginal lands belonging to the Arab tribes to name the meteorite in their language, referring to the location of its discovery (Lake Eyre, the traditional name of Kati Thanda). Meteorite - chondrite or aerolite - is estimated at 4.5 billion years. Meteoroid was formed during the formation of the Solar System, even before the Earth was formed.
