A part of the 'Orconuma,' the first ever meteorite in the National Geological and Paleontological Collections, is on display at the Godofredo Alcasid Function Hall on the ground floor of the National Museum of Natural History in Rizal Park, Manila on Friday, July 22, 2022. It is one of the six meteorites from the Philippines listed in the Bulletin Database of the Meteoritical Society. Classified as an H3-4 chondrite, this space rock is one of the first solid materials from the earliest days of the solar system about 4.6 billion years ago. PHOTO BY JOHN RYAN BALDEMOR
