Aba Panu L3 Chondrite Meteorite

The Aba Panu meteorite is a chondrite that fell over Oyo State, Nigeria, on April 19, 2018. NASA’s Center for Near Earth Object Studies detected the bolide around 2:00 PM that day, traveling over 45,000 miles per hour as it entered Earth’s atmosphere. Shortly after, the meteor exploded approximately 30 kilometers above the surface, scattering fragments over the village of Aba Panu and the towns of Ipapo and Tede to the north.
