Muscat, After installing meteorite detection devices in key areas around the Sultanate of Oman, the Ministry of Heritage and Tourism succeeded in documenting a number of meteorites over the first four months of this year (2022).

This consummates the Ministry’s efforts to inventory and protect meteorites that fall on Omani lands.

The meteorites detection project was realized in cooperation with the Natural History Museum of Berne, Switzerland, and Curtin University of Australia. It documented specimens of the meteorites that entered the Sultanate of Oman’s airspace and indicated their precise sites as they penetrated the sphere.
