5 days agoThe guardians of the meteorites of the Argentine Chaco
The culprits are meteorites, or as the Indigenous Moqoit (Mocovi) people call them, gifts from the sky. The Piguem N'onaxa (Campo del Cielo, or Field of the Sky) Reserve is a provincial park in the town of Gancedo, Chaco. It is a protected area within a larger zone where, more than 4,000 years ago, a giant meteor, believed to have weighed about 800 tons roughly the weight of five blue whales fell.
