			== The Hoba Meteorite: Earth's Largest Iron Meteorite ==
			The Hoba Meteorite, the largest known intact meteorite on Earth, is an awe-inspiring reminder of the cosmos and its interactions with our planet. Located in Namibia, this gigantic iron meteorite weighs over 60 tons and has been studied extensively for its unique composition and formation. While most meteorites disintegrate upon entering Earth’s atmosphere, Hoba has remained almost perfectly intact, giving scientists and visitors a glimpse into the material that makes up our solar system.
