Approximately 5000 years ago, a huge piece of stone fell to the ground on the territory of modern Argentina. Naturally, it does not fall entirely, and broke into pieces that were scattered over a large valley .
Later, this place is called a meteor field or on the original Campo del Cielo. The length of the field is more than 18 kilometers, and its width is an average of about three kilometers. In total, in the territory of the valley is twenty-six funnels, and the largest of them is 115 meters in diameter. Experts estimate that the stones hit the ground with a speed of 14 400 km / h. Some meteorites struck deep holes in the surface. For example, a 14-ton boulder created a tunnel length of 25 meters and a depth of about 8 meters. Before fly apart at the time of entry into the atmosphere, the asteroid weighed about 600 tons
