New York to auction largest known piece of Mars on Earth
At first glance, it might seem like just a hefty chunk of rock. But this 54-pound specimen is unlike anything else on Earth, because it's not from Earth at all! It's the largest known piece of Mars ever discovered here, and it's heading under an auction at Sotheby's in New York. Named NWA 16788, this meteorite is believed to have been blasted off Mars by a colossal asteroid impact, hurtled 140 million miles through space, and finally landed in the Sahara Desert. It was discovered by a meteorite hunter in Niger in November 2023, reported AP citing Sotheby's. 'This Martian meteorite is the largest piece of Mars we have ever found by a long shot,' said Cassandra Hatton, vice chairman for science and natural history at Sotheby's. 'So it's more than double the size of what we previously thought was the largest piece of Mars.' Measuring nearly 15 inches by 11 inches by 6 inches, this red, brown, and grey chunk is around 70% larger than the second-biggest known Martian meteorite. It alone accounts for nearly 7% of all Martian material ever found on Earth. Sotheby's notes, as per AP, that there are only about 400 confirmed Martian meteorites among the 77,000+ meteorites officially recognised on Earth. To confirm its extraterrestrial origin, a small piece was sent to a specialist lab and compared with the chemical fingerprint established by NASA's Viking probe, which landed on Mars in 1976. The results were conclusive: the rock is an olivine-microgabbroic shergottite, a slowly cooled Martian magma type filled with pyroxene and olivine crystals. Its glassy surface hints at the fiery entry it endured while hurtling through Earth's atmosphere. Expected to fetch between $2 million and $4 million, this meteorite leads a collection of 122 items in Sotheby's Geek Week 2025 natural history-themed sale. The lot also includes a juvenile Ceratosaurus nasicornis skeleton, a dinosaur measuring over 6 feet tall and nearly 11 feet long. As for the Mars rock, its journey may have spanned millions of years and millions of miles, but its final stop may be a collector's cabinet, unless a museum or research institution steps wins the bid.

The biggest piece of Mars ever found on Earth is about to hit the auction block
The biggest Martian meteorite ever discovered on Earth is going under the hammer this Wednesday at Sotheby's in New York, with an estimated price tag between $2 million and $4 million, according to the Associated Press. The 54-pound (25-kilogram) meteorite, officially named NWA 16788, is the highlight of Sotheby's natural history-themed sale, part of its annual Geek Week 2025 series. According to the auction house, it's not just the size that makes it exceptional, it's also believed to be the largest known fragment of Mars ever found on our planet, measuring nearly 15 inches by 11 inches by 6 inches. 'This Martian meteorite is the largest piece of Mars we have ever found by a long shot,' said Cassandra Hatton, vice chairman for science and natural history at Sotheby's. 'So it's more than double the size of what we previously thought was the largest piece of Mars.' Hatton explained that the rock likely originated from a massive asteroid impact that blasted it off Mars' surface. It then travelled 140 million miles through space before crashing into the Sahara desert. A meteorite hunter found it in Niger in November 2023. With its red, brown, and grey hues, the meteorite is 70% larger than the next biggest Martian sample found on Earth and accounts for nearly 7% of all verified Martian material known to exist here, Sotheby's said. Out of more than 77,000 officially recognised meteorites discovered globally, only 400 are known to have come from Mars. Live Events To confirm its origin, a fragment was removed and analysed in a specialist lab. Scientists matched its chemical makeup to known Martian meteorites, originally identified using data from NASA's Viking lander mission in 1976. The sample was classified as an olivine-microgabbroic shergottite, a rock formed by the slow cooling of Martian magma. It features a coarse texture and contains pyroxene and olivine minerals. The rock's glassy outer surface hints at the intense heat it endured while plummeting through Earth's atmosphere. 'So that was their first clue that this wasn't just some big rock on the ground,' Hatton said. Previously displayed at the Italian Space Agency in Rome, the meteorite's current owner has not been revealed. Sotheby's noted that while the exact timing of its fall to Earth is unknown, recent testing suggests the impact was relatively recent. The Martian rock will be auctioned alongside another attention-grabbing specimen: a juvenile Ceratosaurus nasicornis skeleton, standing over 6 feet tall and nearly 11 feet long. Discovered in 1996 near Laramie, Wyoming, the skeleton was reconstructed from nearly 140 original bones and additional sculpted parts. Dating back around 150 million years to the late Jurassic period, its auction estimate ranges from $4 million to $6 million. Ceratosaurus was a bipedal predator with short arms, somewhat resembling a smaller version of the Tyrannosaurus rex. While a typical Ceratosaurus could grow up to 25 feet, the T. rex could reach up to 40 feet in length. The skeleton was acquired last year by Fossilogic, a fossil preparation and mounting company based in Utah. Sotheby's Geek Week 2025 auction includes a total of 122 lots, featuring other meteorites, fossils, and rare minerals. With inputs from AP

World's biggest piece of ‘Mars rock' to sell for up to $4m
The biggest piece of Mars on Earth is going on sale and is set to become the most expensive space rock in the world. The 54lb Martian rock is expected to sell for between $2 million and $4 million (£1.5 million and £2.9 million) when it goes up for sale at Sotheby's on July 16. Meteorite NWA 16788 is being sold by collector Luca Calberi, who obtained it after meteorite scouts found it 90km to the west of the Chirfa Oasis in northwestern Niger on November 16 2023. Analysis of small fragments of the rust-red rock proved it was Martian in origin and had been flung into space at a high speed after the planet was hit by an asteroid at some point in the distant past. It is unknown how long the rock has been on Earth, but it is by far the biggest intact Martian rock on the planet. 'It's just a huge piece of Mars, it is the biggest piece of Mars on Earth,' Cassandra Hatton, senior vice president of science and natural history at Sotheby's in New York, who is running the sale, told The Telegraph. 'It is nearly double the size of the meteorite that we previously thought was the largest piece of Mars on Earth and it is around 54lb.' Meteorites are rare objects in their own right, but Martian meteorites are even more scarce, with only around 400 on Earth. Most such specimens of our celestial neighbour are tiny fragments, making the NWA 16788 slab even more remarkable. The combined weight of all Mars meteorites known on Earth is around 925lb, which makes the single biggest specimen, NWA 16788, more than six per cent of the entire mass. 'The only way something of this size, or really any meteorites that come from the Martian surface get here, is from a massive asteroid strike,' Ms Hatton said. 'We know that there've been about 19 asteroid strikes that had a great enough impact to send something of this size to Earth. But it's impossible to know which one of those was responsible for this.' The lot is one of the marquee items for sale as part of the auction house's 'geek week', founded by Ms Hatton in 2017. Another item available for bidding on July 16 is a juvenile ceratosaurus dinosaur fossil thought to be the only one of its kind in the world. It stands around 6 feet 3 inches tall and 10 feet 8 inches long and is one of just four ceratosaurus in the world, the only juvenile and the one in the best condition. This specimen was found in Wyoming in 2016 and is valued at between $4 million and $6 million (£2.9 million and £4.4 million). Sotheby's sold the famous Sue T-rex in 1997 as well as the Apex stegosaurus for more than $44 million (£32 million) last year. The enormous Mars rock could become not only the most expensive space rock ever sold, but also the most expensive space-related lot. Buzz Aldrin's Apollo 11 flight jacket fetched $2.8 million (£2 million), while the bag used by Neil Armstrong on Apollo 11 to bring back the first samples of the Moon ever collected sold for $1.8 million (£1.3 million). But despite the rocks and the spacesuits all having a link to space, Ms Hatton sees them as two separate types of item. 'When you look at the market for space exploration, that's really focused on humankind's journeys into space,' she said. 'That market is really more about the artefacts that were used by astronauts to get off of the Earth and go explore the planets. 'I think of meteorites more as a natural history object. We had nothing to do with this thing coming here. I'm not sure that it would be really an accurate comparison if this did sell at the high estimate to say it's the most expensive space object, because I just think those are wildly different markets.' The market for natural history, space and technology is booming, she said. 'The first geek week was such a success and we have seen that people really respond to these types of objects,' Ms Hatton said. 'People really love space, the history of science and tech, the natural history, the fossils, the meteorites, the minerals – our clients are really, really into it. 'And natural history in particular because these are objects that are both scientifically important but also aesthetically pleasing. These are cool things people can put on their desk, put in their boardroom or live with in their home.' Broaden your horizons with award-winning British journalism.
