In the Pinball World of Asteroids, A Mudball Meteorite Avoided Collisions

In April 2019, rare primitive meteorites fell near the town of Aguas Zarcas in northern Costa Rica. In an article published online in the journal Meteoritics & Planetary Science, an international team of researchers describe the circumstances of the fall and show that mudball meteorites are not necessarily weak.
