Benenitra meteorite An impact on the fusion crust at the time of the fall reveals the cream-coloured interior which contrasts with the burnt black exterior during its passage through our atmosphere. The Benenitra meteorite proposed here measures 80 x 60 x 60 mm for 599g The fall of the meteorite, listed under the name Benenitra, occurred at the time of the highly anticipated total lunar eclipse which was also visible in France. But it is in Madagascar, close to a very small village that a real meteorite shower of various sizes occurred during the eclipse, making some inhabitants of this village, witness of this fall, think that they were fragments of the moon detached on this occasion. It is in fact a chondrite-type meteorite, and the sale of its meteorites by the villagers would have made it possible to buy solar-powered water pumps. A manna that came from the sky!
