New main mass found yesterday in France, from asteroid 2023 CX1! Located by French meteorite hunter Thierry Monter, it was likely over 350 grams, but it shattered on impact with the hard ground. Recovered: 70g, 52g (pictured), and many more tiny pieces ! #2023cx1 #meteorites https://twitter.com/i/web/status/1630047596059283457

Updated map posted for France! At least 14 meteorites found, totalling 406 grams. The latest map predicts the most likely areas to find meteorites, considering precise trajectory, wind, finds, and searched areas. #strewnfield #meteorites #2023cx1 https://www.strewnify.com/y20230213_02z_31u/

As just reported in https://www.facebook.com/groups/1299728060220815/posts/2161635280696751/ by now 14 (!) #meteorites from exploded asteroid #2023CX1 have been collected in #Normandy - here is the latest strewn field prediction map from https://www.strewnify.com/y20230213_02z_31u (where the biggest piece was found has not been disclosed yet but the information was used for updating the map).

For the record re. the #meteorites from #2023CX1 the independent collectors Steve Arnold and Roberto Vargas had already on February 20th reported finding "the new main mass! A beautiful 178g stone, with a broken face and visible #chondrules" in https://twitter.com/hellospacething/status/1627719795389890560 but Vigie Ciel hadn't included it in their tally published on the 22nd. We'll see how this turns out ...

Je ne regrette vraiment pas de m’être levé au milieu de la nuit pour assister à la chute dans notre atmosphère du petit astéroïde #2023CX1. Et j’ai hâte de voir l’une des #météorites retrouvées par les amis de @VigieCiel ; je pourrai alors dire : « je l’ai vue tomber du ciel » ! https://www.vigie-ciel.org/2023/02/22/meteorites-normandes-bilan-dune-folle-semaine/

So far 12 #meteorites from #2023CX1 have been recovered, a big one (90 grams, the first find) and 11 others from 2 to 24 grams: https://www.vigie-ciel.org/2023/02/22/meteorites-normandes-bilan-dune-folle-semaine/ (includes a #strewnfield map).

🤩☄️ FRIPON/Vigie-Ciel retrouve un fragment de l’astéroïde 2023CX1 en Seine Maritime !!! La découverte a été faite par Loïs Leblanc, étudiante de 18 ans, faisant partie de l’équipe de recherche sur le terrain #2023CX1 #SAR2667

Meanwhile here is a video summary of the #2023CX1 fall and its seven meteorites: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WvCtJNnFD_w

Yay, according to https://allsky7.groups.io/g/main/message/42 the first #meteorite from the #Texas event has been recovered - and together with another such success in Italy and at least seven meteorites from the French case (with the object #2023CX1 seen before it hit Earth) we have just seen THREE fireballs with collected fresh meteorites in a single week! Each such event is rare but a cluster of three is truly unique in geophysics history, AFAIK.

The history of the #2023CX1 meteorite is somewhat astonishing:

4.5 Gyr ago: condensed out of protosolar nebula and orbits in space

...some time passes...

Last Saturday: nothing happened
Last Sunday: nothing happened

Last Monday 0259 UT: Hey! there's a planet right theAAAAGH SO SO SO HOT BOOM
Fragment lands in grassy field

*changes status from meteor to meteorite*

Monday morning: the Sun rises on an overcast day

Last monday afternoon: Discovered by Loïs Leblanc https://www.imo.net/pieces-of-2023-cx1-recovered-in-normandy/

A potential second meteorite from #2023CX1: https://twitter.com/VigieCiel/status/1626315323564601347 - verification pending.

@dlr_next In Frankreich wurde vom FRIPON Team nun ein Stück des Meteoriten 2023 CX1 gefunden, der 7 Stunden vor dem Eintritt in die Atmosphäre entdeckt wurde!

💫Meteorite, FOUND!

#2023CX1, the small asteroid that impacted Earth over northern France early this week, has been found! At least one surviving remnant has, and there are likely others!🔍

Well done, team🥳🪨
