EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print showcases a captivating close-up view of the Esquel Pallasite, a rare and unique meteorite specimen. Discovered in 1864 in the province of Chubut, Argentina, this meteorite is a stony-iron meteorite, characterized by its silicate and metal components. The Esquel Pallasite is named for its place of origin and is a type of pallasite, a specific class of meteorites that contain olivine crystals encased in a metal matrix. The intricate network of olivine crystals, with their vibrant green coloration, can be seen intertwined within the metallic iron matrix. These crystals are silicate minerals, specifically nesosilicates and orthosilicates, which form when magma cools and solidifies in space. The metallic component of the meteorite is primarily composed of iron and nickel, native metals that are not commonly found in such large quantities on Earth. The Esquel Pallasite is a testament to the diverse and complex processes that occurred during the formation of our solar system. Its discovery has provided valuable insights into the conditions that existed during the early stages of planetary development. This print serves as a reminder of the wonders that lie beyond our planet and the ongoing exploration of the cosmos.
