What a thriller! For days, a team led by geoscientist Lutz Hecht from the Museum für Naturkunde Berlin searched for remains of the asteroid 2024 BX1 in Brandenburg. Initially without success as the finds that we have now examined in our museum's own research laboratories are very special. So they don't correspond to what you would normally look for when searching for meteorites!
According to analyses, the meteor has a rare composition of the "Aubrite" type - a rarity in museum collections to date! Particularly important for the classification: the Aubrite, where this material was first described, is also in our research collection. This is also why we were able to make a rough classification relatively quickly - and are now continuing to research what galactic knowledge our new addition carries.
A film team accompanies the Museum für Naturkunde Berlin on its way into the future. On KZitem you can become part of our Museum Evolution!
The earth is changing. Every second. For 4.56 billion years. But this change is happening too fast lately! This is shown by the speed of species extinction and climate change.
We are making the museum fit for new challenges, also structurally. As a place where, in future, a million visitors a year will be able to exchange ideas about the preservation of our natural foundations of life. And as a place where more than 200 scientists are already researching life and the earth. We are catapulting the 30 million objects in our collection into the future - analogue and digital. For all of us! So that we can work together on solutions - for nature and the cohesion of society.
