Mars meteorite collection
火星の隕石コレクション
Mars meteorite collection
Currently, the Mars meteorite collection has a total of 97 pieces, a total weight of 411g, and 24 types.
Martian meteorites are extremely rare, and even meteorite experts do not always have them, and they are also relatively expensive.
There are plans for humans to live on Mars, but in order to do so, it is necessary to further investigate Mars, and for that purpose it is necessary to classify Martian meteorites.
It is said that it is necessary to reexamine the Martian meteorites that have been discovered so far, and in that case, the meteorites from the Amorce meteorite collection may also be included in the researches.
火星の隕石コレクション
現在、火星の隕石コレクションは、総個数で97個、総重量で411g、種類で24種類保有しております。
火星の隕石は極めて珍しく、隕石専門家でもいつも保有している隕石ではなく、かつ比較的高価でもあり、アモーチェ隕石コレクションのように24種類を保有する専門家は殆どいません。
人類が火星に住むことも計画されていますが、そのためには火星を更に調査する必要があり、そのために火星の隕石を分類する必要があると言われており、今まで発見されている火星の隕石を再検査する必要があり、その際にはアモーチェ隕石コレクションの隕石も調査対象になるかも知れません。
