Aarhus Meteorite Memorial Stone

Highlight • Monument

The meteor split just before the otherwise undramatic impact and two pieces were recovered. They are known as Aarhus I (at 300g) and Aarhus II (at 420g). Aarhus I was found in the small woodland of Riis Skov, just a few minutes after impact. Most of the meteor is in Copenhagen, but a small piece in the Natural History Museum in Aarhus.
