The Tellus Science Museum in Georgia added a 150-gram meteorite, recently seen blazing through the sky, to its collection.

Hundreds of people descended on Georgia after a meteor blazed across the sky last week. Enthusiasts collect and sell celestial debris from the event for up to $100 per gram.

The Georgia Science Museum is studying a piece of a meteor that shook the county and blazed over the Southeast last week after it was recovered by a local meteorite hunter.

The meteor was first seen at an altitude of 48 miles above the town of Oxford, Georgia, moving southwest at 30,000 miles per hour, said Bill Cooke, a lead at NASA's Meteoroid Environment Office.

Meteorites found from the fireball so far are going for roughly $100 per gram. The last time a meteor landed in Georgia, in 2022 near Junction City, pieces went for $400 per gram.
