This rock is from outer space

It might look just like a generic rock, but this rock is special because it doesn't even come from this planet. It's a chunk of a meteorite called pallasite, that came from space and it's magnetic because it's mostly made of iron and nickel.

Olivine makes up most of the Earth's mantle and has also been brought back from the Moon.

Imagine how many precious space rocks we may have discarded and thrown thinking they're trash and ugly

Pretty cool how much pure metal was inside, instead of the usual raw ores that doesnt look like the refined metal in any way.

I find it so fascinating that this one rock probably traveled millions of miles just to land here on earth

[TheRealGuywithoutaMustache]

The average person: Hey that rock is really cool

Geologists: *Hey we can make a religion out of this*

I feel like this channel is Nile's way of saying "it might take me months to create a video on plastic grape soda, but i can still commit chemical warfare on a national scale."

I love the way the slices look 🥰
Remind me to not only look up,
but look DOWN!!! 👀 👀

Me: oh, cool. * like *

My brain: literally every rock is from outer space, we are currently in outer space, earth is a rock in outer space.

props to him for going out of space to get this

This just gives a whole new meaning to "inner beauty"...

The upper mantle is made of olivine and silicate and the outer core contains liquid metal (nickel and iron). So some meteoroids are a mixture of them 😮

Aliens: " IS HE CUTTING.. THE THERMONUCLEAR DEVICE.. "

Humans: " Hehe space money.. "

Joe Dirt: “So is it a meteor?”
Appraiser: “Im afraid not, you got yourself a giant hunk of space poopy”

Imagine if one day we find a meteorite that's made of something we never encountered before, so we'd have to update the periodic table

[alchenerd]

"So what most people do is to cut them into slices..."
Alien hatchling: "They WHAT?!"

Rock from outer space, "its quite rare, " drops It and breaks a bit off.

[toddburgess]

That's really impressive, ive never seen a composition like that though, only the polished metal ones.

[jonathantsang]

"However, it is quite rare and doesn't even come from this planet..."

*casually throws on table*
