Mysterious Libyan desert glass originated from lost meteor impact

Researchers from Germany, Egypt, and Morocco have used advanced microscopy technology to uncover the origin of Libyan desert glass, a substance found in the Great Sand Sea Desert. The glass, known for its high silica content and large size, has puzzled scientists for years. Recent research using transmission electron microscopy revealed minerals consistent with a meteorite impact origin. The glass is estimated to be 29 million years old, and the search for the crater continues. This discovery provides valuable insights.
