Meteorite Museum

　　    At around 15:00 on March 8, 1976, in the counties and towns near the suburbs of Jilin City, amid a deafening roar, a visitor from the universe suddenly descended here — it is the Jilin meteorite now on display at the Jilin Meteorite Museum.

　　    The Jilin meteorite landed within a range of 500 square kilometers near Jilin City and Yongji County. A total of 138 meteorite specimens and over 3,000 fragments were collected at the time, with a combined weight of 2,616 kilograms. Among them, the No. 1 meteorite, known as the “Continent’s Number One Deity,” weighs 1,770 kilograms and is currently the largest stone meteorite in the world. This meteorite is dark brown-black in color and features regmaglypts.

　　    In terms of quantity, weight, distribution area, and scientific value, the Jilin meteorite is rare in the world. Tests have shown that the parent body of the Jilin meteorite was originally a planet from the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter in the solar system, with an age of about 4.6 billion years.
