Bjurbölen meteoriitti – pala avaruutta

Bjurbölen meteoriitti

12.3.1899 puoli kymmenen aikaan illalla koko Etelä-Suomi heräsi siihen, että taivaalla loisti tulipallo, iso lieskameri. Jotain eriskummallista lähestyi Porvoota. Porvoon museon museolehtori Hannele Tenhovuori kertoo kuuluisasta meteoriitista, joka iskeytyi Bjurböleen maaliskuussa 1899.
