about
"ALH84001 is a fragment of a Martian meteorite that was found in the Allan Hills in Antarctica on December 27, 1984, by a team of American meteorite hunters from the ANSMET project. Like other members of the shergottite–nakhlite–chassignite (SNC) group of meteorites, ALH84001 is thought to have originated on Mars. However, it does not fit into any of the previously discovered SNC groups. Its mass upon discovery was 1.93 kilograms.
In 1996, a group of scientists claimed to have found evidence for microscopic fossils of bacteria in the meteorite, suggesting that these organisms also originated on Mars. The claims immediately made headlines worldwide, culminating in then-U.S. president Bill Clinton giving a speech about the potential discovery.[2] These claims were controversial from the beginning, and the wider scientific community ultimately rejected the hypothesis once all the unusual features in the meteorite had been explained without requiring life to be present. Despite there being no convincing evidence of Martian life, the initial paper and the enormous scientific and public attention caused by it are considered turning points in the history of the developing science of astrobiology." - Wikipedia
lyrics
I found my path involuntarily,
Knocked off course, a greater force drags me in.
Gravity, steering my trajectory,
Leaving pieces of myself behind, I accelerate.
I carry my past in my very being,
What will I have left when I stop?
Density, from the closest light and the bodies it holds,
I am steered to collide.
Torn from the Eos Chasma,
And thrown unto Earth.
The matter contained within me,
Will it survive re-entry?
I am but one, of cosmik debris,
With no control of my destiny.
