Our #IndiaUnboxed series continues with the puzzling story of the fiery meteorites which were cold to the touch.

157 years ago the people of Dharamsala in Northwest India watched as three meteorites streaked across the sky and crashed into the ground nearby. Despite witnessing nine-foot flames trailing behind the meteorites, the brave locals who rushed to pick them up found them to be intensely cold.

Today, the interstellar objects can be found in the Sedgwick Museum at the University of Cambridge – where they are still used in research to increase our understanding of the universe and our place among the stars.
