 Hoba Meteorite, looking west

From this perspective the almost quadratic form
of the Hoba meteorite becomes evident. Strangely
enough, there is no trace of any crater related
to the Hoba meteorite - with the visible depression being
a modern excavation, so some scientist think, that
it came down on a very flat orbit, like a stone which
flings across the water, eventually coming to a stand-
still at its current position.
