Meteor From Planet Mercury Or Kryptonite

A mysterious green meteorite with a unique geological signature may have arrived on Earth thanks to an explosion on the surface of the Solar System's smallest planet, Mercury. The meteorite, dubbed NWA 7325, is actually a 345g package of 35 extraterrestrial stones formed around 4.56 billion years ago that were found in the southern deserts of Morocco in 2012, according to meteorite scientist Anthony Irving. The sample, with a "CHARTREUSE-COLORED FUSION CRUST"," has the lowest magnetic intensity of any meteorite yet found, which is consistent from data sent back by NASA's "ME"rcury "S"urface, "S"pace "EN"vironment, "GE"ochemistry, and "R"anging (MESSENGER) orbiter, Irving said, and is very low in iron, an element Mercury looks to be lacking. Would-be Mercury meteor NWA 7325 remain in the realms of hypothesis until we get more data back from Mercury, Irving explained. The Messenger probe, our first to the planet, has now completed its primary mission of mapping the planet's surface, and NASA is trying to get funding to keep the program running and gather more data to validate the theory presented at the 44th annual Lunar and Planetary Science Conference in Texas recently.
