Ngamanye amaxesha indalo isiphosa loo mfihlelo, ukuba ayisombululi ngeminyaka, kodwa ngeenkulungwane. Enye yale mfihlelo yayiyitye engaqhelekanga kwintsimi yaseNamibia .
Imbali ifunyenwe
Kwakuhlobo olumileyo lwasehlobo lika-1920. Oku kwenzeka eplasini yeHoba West Farm kufuphi nesixeko saseHrutfontein . Ukulima enye yamasimi akhe nokucinga ngezizathu zokuvuna okubi, umfama uJacob Hermanus Brits wangcwatya umlimi ngolunye uhlobo lwesithintelo. Inqwenela, kwaye wagijimela ukufumanisa umhlaba wakhe. UYakobus wazama ixesha elide ukuba afune iindawo ezikulo, kwaye ukumangaliswa kwakhe kwakungekho mfuneko xa ebona oko wayefumene. Ngaloo mizuzu, umlimi akazange akwazi ukucinga ukuba uya kuqhubeka egameni lakhe kwimbali. Ukufunyanwa akufumananga nto kodwa i-meteorite enkulu emhlabeni.
Igama elithi Goba (Khoba) leemeteorite elifunyenwe ngokuhlonipha umhlaba wokulima, owafunyanwa. Ubunzima, bufana ne-parallelepiped, kwaye ubukhulu bunomtsalane: 2.7 nge-2.7 ubude ubude kunye ne-0.9 yamitha ukuphakama. Kulo mfanekiso ungezantsi unokubona i-meteorite iGoba kuyo yonke ubukhulu bayo.
Yintoni imeteorite?
I-Goba (isiNgesi Hoba) - enkulu kunazo zonke ezifunyenwe zi-meteorites emhlabeni. Usesesandleni sokuwa kwakhe, eningizimu-ntshona yeAfrika, eNamibia. Ukongeza, namhlanje isona sininzi esikhulu sensimbi yendalo.
Inyaniso enomdla malunga ne-Goba meteor eNamibia:
- Iingcali zenzululwazi ziye zazimisela ukuba imitha ye-Gob ibe yiminyaka eyi-410 yezigidi ubudala, kwaye ilele kwisiza sokuwa kwayo iminyaka eyi-80 eyiyure.
- Ngethuba lokufumana kwakhe ubunzima beetoni ezingama-66, namhlanje eli nani liye linciphisa kakhulu - itoni ezingama-60. Oku kubeka isohlwayo nge-corrosion and vandals. Ukufumana ulwazi, ininzi yamameteorite eyawela eMhlabeni yayinomzimba ukusuka kwiigragram eziliqela ukuya kumawaka eekhigram.
- Ukubunjwa kwe-Goba meteorite i-84% yentsimbi, i-16% ye-nickel enexabiso elincinci le-cobalt, kwaye ngaphandle kwayo ihlanganiswe nge-hydroxide yesinyithi. Ngokutsho kwesakhiwo se-crystalline, i-meteorite yeGoba yi-ataxite enezityebi kwi-nickel.
- Imyuziyam yeMbali yeNdalo yaseNew York ngo-1954 ilungiselele ukuthenga i-meteorite ekuboniseni kwayo, kodwa kwakukho ubunzima bokuthutha, kwaye uGobha wahlala elele endaweni yayo.
- Ummandla weemeteorite omdala wehlabathi ngumncinci omncinci apho iintetho kunye neentsebenzo zivame ukulungiswa. Kwaye ngomnyaka wokuqhawula, abahlali balungiselela umdaniso wesiko ejikeleze ilitye. Ngelishwa, iYurophu ayivunyelwe khona.
Isikhumbuzo seSizwe
Xa iindaba zeemeteorite kwisantya sokukhanya zijikeleza ngehlabathi, amawaka abantu athululela eMamibia. Wonke umntu wazama ukuthatha isiqwenga sememori. Ukususela ngo-Matshi 1955, urhulumente wasezantsi-ntshona Afrika uthi i-meteorite ye-Gob iyisikhumbuzo sesizwe, ngaloo ndlela ikhusela ilitye eliyingqayizivele ekungcoleni. Rossing Uranium Ltd. ngo-1985, ixhaswe urhulumente wasezantsi-ntshona Afrika ukuqinisa ukukhuselwa kweemeteorite. Kwaye kwiminyaka emibini kamva, umnini wefama iHoba West wasinika ilizwe i-meteorite iGoba kunye nomhlaba ojikelezile. Ukuba ukhuseleko olungcono, kwagqitywa ukuba ungathathi meteorite naphi na, kodwa ukushiya kwindawo yeHoba West Farm. Kungekudala, isikhungo sezotyelelo savuleka kule ndawo. Kunyaka ngamnye ukuhamba kwabavakhenkethi abafuna ukubona nokuthintela imitha ye-Gob kukhula nje, kwaye izenzo zonakaliswa ziye zayeka.
Iimfihlakalo zeemeteorite
Inzululwazi ezininzi zisaqhaqhaza ubuchopho babo, zivelisa iimfihlelo zeMeba meteorite eMamibia. Kwaye baninzi:
- Ifom ye-meteorite i-parallelepiped engavamile, "iindwendwe" ezinjalo azifaneli ziwele emhlabeni wethu, zigcina ifom ye-geometric efanelekileyo;
- I-Goba ibhelele kwaye inesimo esicacileyo, isisitho somnxeba esinyeneyo;
- ecaleni kwayo akukho nkonkco okanye nayiphi na enye imvelaphi yokuwa. Oku kwenzeka ntoni? Emva koko, loo nto yayifuneka ihlakazeke ibe ngamakhulu amaqhekeza ngexesha lokuhamba. Mhlawumbi uMoya womhlaba wancipha xa i-meteorite yawa, kwaye kwakungenamandla okukhululwa kwamandla;
- Ngoku kutshanje kufaka phambili enye inkolelo yokuwa kweGob meteorite: ukubetha umhlaba, uvele nje aphephe, ahlasele endaweni yokuwa emgama omde, ngoko akukho mvelaphi.
Kungakhathaliseki ukuba yintoni, kodwa imibuzo eninzi ayiphenduliwe.
Ndingafika njani?
Unokrazula imoto kwisiza sezindiza sase-Grootfontein, esekelwe kwii-5 km ukusuka kwisixeko saseHrutfontein . Uthutho lukawonkewonke ukuya kwifama yaseGoba aluhambi. Kwakhona kukho ukuhluka kokuqasha imoto nomqhubi. Abaninzi abakhenketho bayayikhetha, kuba kufuneka uhambe ngaphaya kwendlela, elele e-desert savannah. Ukusuka kwiHrutfontein ukuya kwi-meteorite yeGoba ibanga elingama-23 km, uhambo luya kuthatha imizuzu engama-20.
