AnirudhaThey Should Have Too
We think Ann and Eugene should have accepted the offer the way farmer did. Though the amount wasn’t huge, still, things would have been different for the couple. Ann wouldn’t have ended up alone in a nursery home. She died there waiting for the moment that her life would change. Sadly, that didn’t happen.
Types Of Meteorites
Meteorites are smaller parts of asteroids that fall off from it and land on Earth. Scientists classify these meteorites on the basis of chemical structure, chemical composition (what all sort of chemicals are found), isotopic compositions (types of chemical elements are there), and mineralogy.
Other Classifications
Other than the above classifications, meteorites are also sorted according to their physical features such as rocky (if meteorites are made of rocky material), metallic (if they contain iron), and mixtures (if they contain both stone and irons). There are a lot of things that are considered before one can say that the rock is actually a meteorite.
Remembering Her
The world will always remember Ann Hodges as the person who lived after being struck by a meteorite. Though she didn’t get a life she hoped for. But then again, meteorite did make her famous. So the next time you read about a meteorite, her name will always pop inside your head.
