So, get this — in Spain, a super old treasure called the Treasure of Villena has something totally out of this world. 💫 It was discovered back in 1963 and is packed with shiny Bronze Age gold. But for years, two weird objects in the collection had everyone stumped: a bracelet and a little hollow half-sphere. 🤔 Turns out, they’re not made of regular Earth metal at all. Scientists just found out they’re actually made of meteoritic iron — yep, metal from a meteorite! ☄️ That means part of this ancient treasure literally came from space! 🌌 Credit: Cremation rite: By Gabriel Bartolomé Bellón, Xoil, CC BY 3.0 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=13595145 CC BY 2.0 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0: El tesoro de Villena: By Julio Garcia, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=10269092 Iberian pottery jug: By Joel Bellviure, https://flic.kr/p/PvNwcW Báculo: By Ángel M.
