➣ Hoba meteorite, the largest intact meteorite, weighing about 60 tons, that has been found on Earth. It was discovered in 1920 on a farm called Hoba West, located 19 km (12 miles) west of Grootfontein in northern Namibia. The Hoba meteorite dropped from the sky less than 80,000 years ago and has never been moved.

➣ The meteorite was discovered by farmer Jacobus Hermanus Brits, who noticed a strange black rock surrounded by white limestone. Brits chiseled off a piece of the rock and took it to the South West Africa Company office in Grootfontein, where it was identified as a meteorite. Digging around the rock showed that only a small part of it had been aboveground. As more soil was removed, the huge size of the rock was revealed. Because of the meteorite’s remote location, knowledge of its existence did not become widespread until 1929, when Dutch American astronomer Willem Luyten wrote an article about it for a South African newspaper.

➣ Meteorit Hoba, najväčší neporušený meteorit s hmotnosťou približne 60 ton, ktorý sa našiel na Zemi. Bol objavený v roku 1920 na farme Hoba West, ktorá sa nachádza 19 km západne od Grootfonteinu v severnej Namíbii. Meteorit Hoba spadol z oblohy pred menej ako 80 000 rokmi a nikdy sa nepohol.

➣ Meteorit objavil farmár Jacobus Hermanus Brits, ktorý si všimol zvláštnu čiernu skalu obklopenú bielym vápencom. Brits odrezal kus skaly a odniesol ho do kancelárie spoločnosti South West Africa Company v Grootfonteine, kde ho identifikovali ako meteorit. Pri kopaní okolo skaly sa ukázalo, že nad zemou sa nachádzala len jej malá časť. Keď sa odstránilo viac zeminy, ukázala sa obrovská veľkosť skaly. Vzhľadom na odľahlú polohu meteoritu sa poznatky o jeho existencii rozšírili až v roku 1929, keď o ňom holandsko-americký astronóm Willem Luyten napísal článok do juhoafrických novín.
