Researchers have recently examined the Wedderburn meteorite . Wedderburn was found in 1951 as an unusual rock from the sky , on a roadside in Australia. Researchers have been trying to unlock the mystery of Wedderburn meteorite for decades. However, this is the first time researchers analyzed the slab of the meteorite and confirmed the first natural occurrence of a rare form of iron-carbide mineral that’s never been found in nature. They named it ‘Edscottite’ in honor of meteorite expert Edward Scott, for his extraordinary contributions to meteorite research. Edscottite is now an official member of the International Mineralogical Association and increases our curiosity towards colossal cosmic collision.
