Meteoric Stone, Crumlin: A Fragment of the Cosmos in Antrim, Northern Ireland This postcard, part of a series of five produced and sold by the museum in the 1920s, showcases the Meteoric Stone of Crumlin, a fascinating piece of cosmic history located in the picturesque town of Crumlin, County Antrim, Northern Ireland. The image captures the awe-inspiring sight of the stone, nestled against the backdrop of the rolling hills and the expansive Antrim sky. The Meteoric Stone of Crumlin is a meteorite, a natural object from space that has fallen to Earth. It is believed to have originated from the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter and is estimated to be around 4.5 billion years old, making it a relic from the early solar system. The stone, which weighs approximately 25 kilograms, is a rare and valuable addition to the natural history of Northern Ireland. The meteorite's journey through the Earth's atmosphere is depicted in the postcard's caption, "From the Infinite Vaults of Space to the Quiet Valleys of Antrim." This phrase beautifully encapsulates the sense of wonder and discovery that comes with the study of meteorites and the exploration of the cosmos. The postcard also includes a brief description of the meteorite's composition and origins, as well as its significance to the scientific community. The image of the meteoric stone, with its intriguing texture and unique shape, serves as a reminder of the vast and mysterious universe that surrounds us and the endless possibilities for discovery and learning.
