In 1920, a farmer in Namibia was plowing his land, thinking about his crop, definitely not about space. Then the plow stopped. Not because of a tree root or a buried stone, but because of something much stranger. Something that wouldn't move.
What he'd hit was Hoba, the largest meteorite ever discovered on Earth. Unlike the Hollywood dramatic version of space rocks hitting our planet with fire and fury, this one had been quietly sitting in a field, totally hidden, until a plow snagged it on an ordinary morning.
