Shahab-e-Saqib: History of 17 meteors that fell on Pakistani soil during the last century and a half

 
According to a database released by the Meteorological Society, a total of 17 meteors have fallen in different parts of Pakistan, especially in Punjab and Sindh, from the 18th century to 2020. 
Meteorites are actually solid rocks emitted from asteroids or comets that pass through the Earth's atmosphere and reach the Earth's surface.  During this time, friction, pressure, or chemical interactions with the air cause them to ignite, releasing energy from them, and they take the form of meteors or mere spheres of fire, also called falling stars. Goes  Most of the time, they are shattered in the air due to this extreme intensity and friction, but sometimes it happens that a meteor falls on the earth.  And interestingly, many such space rocks have also fallen in Pakistan, some of which are still present in Pakistan but some have now been taken out of here.  The history of meteorites falling in Pakistan is very old. According to a database released by the Meteorological Society, a total of 17 meteors have fallen in different parts of Pakistan, especially in Punjab and Sindh, from the 18th century to 2020.  Of these, only one 'Zhob meteorite' that fell in the Zhob area of ​​Balochistan has been formally verified and analyzed. Shehab Saqib also fell in Gilgit-Baltistan and Bhakkar district of Punjab. The news of which may have become an adornment of the media but some information about them is not available and so far they have not been registered in the meteorological database.  'Ice age' ends with the oldest meteorite falling to Earth  The solar system has a complete population of steroids or planets between Mars and Jupiter called the 'asteroid belt'.  According to astronomers, these meteorites can range from micrometers to large rocks and are a combination of a variety of metals, salts, and organic and inorganic compounds.  Scientists have made some startling discoveries by researching meteors coming from the sky to the earth.  These meteors have not only been helpful in geological research, but also in understanding the origin and evolution of life on Earth, as well as important information about the formation of our solar system and the chemical composition of other planets. Have also been obtained. In November 2019, NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center and Tohoku University in Japan conducted research on three meteorites, which showed that they contained sugar molecules, followed by amino acids and nucleobases, essential organic matter for life. Have been discovered in Saqib.  according to the Meteorological Database, there were four meteor showers in the Punjab and Sindh during the 18th-century British rule (1858-1947), including Lodhran (1868), Khairpur Tamiwali in 1873, Jhang and Sindh. In the Gambat area in 1897.  Of the four meteorites recorded in the 18th century, only the Khairpur meteorite data is available. According to them, on September 23, 1873, a few meteorites fell with strong explosions in the rural area of ​​Khairpur Tamiwali in Punjab. There were deep pits in the area. According to research on one of these large rocks, it was an anthracite chondrite type of meteorite that contains a mixture of the important minerals anesthetize, iron and silicate. This mineral compound is missing in the rocks found on Earth, so such meteorites have been the focus of special attention from astronomers in every age, helping them to understand the chemical structure of the solar system and the planets beyond. Khairpur Meteorite is the first rock to fall on the record in the area of ​​present-day Pakistan.  According to the Meteorological Database, there were 10 meteor showers in Pakistan in the 19th century.  These include Sindhri (Sindh) in 1901, Karkh (Balochistan) in 1905, Wasuni (Sindh) in 1915, Garhi Yasin (Sindh) in 1917, Kot Lalu (Sindh) in 1926, Arundo (Khyber) in 1936. Pakhtunkhwa), Mardan (Khyber Pakhtunkhwa) in 1948, Thal (Khyber Pakhtunkhwa) in 1950, Karlowala (Punjab) in 1955, Kolak (Balochistan) in 1961, Lodhran (Punjab) in 1968, and 1983 Rahim Yar Khan (Punjab).  Of the 10 events recorded in the 19th century, only the details of Adhi Kot Meteorite are available, according to which a meteorite fell on May 1, 1919, at a distance of 24 km from Noorpur area of ​​Punjab province. This area was also called Shahpur in the British Raj.
Analysis of the rock revealed that it resembled a meteorite falling at Khairpur Tamiwali in 1873, hence the name Institute (EH4). The stone was later researched and published in an article that found that it contained more chlorine and hepanium than other elements such as silicon, calcium, and iron.
This leads to the conclusion that these are the cooling fragments of a cloud (solar nebula) with extremely high temperatures of gas and soil in the universe.  According to the Meteorological Database, only two meteorites have fallen in Pakistan in the current century, in Ladki (Sindh) in 2012 and Zhob (Balochistan) in 2020.
