The Campo del Cielo meteorite is a group of iron meteorites found in Argentina, specifically in the Gran Chaco Gualamba region. These meteorites are believed to have fallen around 4,000 to 5,000 years ago. The name "Campo del Cielo" translates to "Field of the Sky," reflecting the celestial origin of these fragments.
