It’s kinda nuts how far we’ve come technology wise since we were last up there. Can’t wait for Artemis

The best bit is that nobody is giving the right answer, and even the article only hints at it:
There are a few places in Antarctica where ice slowly evaporates due to very low snowfall and high winds. This forms regions of clear blue ice, and the ice sheet flows toward these regions. Any meteorites that fall elsewhere on the ice sheet get carried to the blue ice zones where the ice evaporates leaving the meteorites behind on the surface. The meteorites build up to very high concentrations over thousands and thousands of years.
So the Antarctic meteorite hunters aren’t just going there because fresh meteorites are easy to spot, they’re there because all the meteorites that fell over a huge area for thousands of years are concentrated in one spot.

Is the planet in the top-left the theorized 5th gas giant that was ejected from the solar system?

Underground. Micro meteorites are bullets in space.

Working as a planet on interstellar travel is a necessity for the human race to survive. We will evolve to that or perish. I wish I could live to see that.

The south pole is a giant magnet. Meteorites are smaller meteors. Therefore, penguins collect meteorites to appease the polar bears, who are also magnets. Science!

Wow that's incredible science! Genius level shit figuring that out. And thank you for posting this. I've been reading every single comment cock-eyed because they don't even sound confident in their own answers let alone researched.. ridiculous comment section.
