Doghouse hit by meteorite expected to fetch over $200,000 at auction

Christie’s auction house confirmed to Fox News that it is hosting an auction that includes a dog house from Costa Rica that was struck by a meteorite on April 23, 2019.

The occupant of the house, a German Shepard named Roky, wasn’t injured during the incident, although the dog was understandably startled by event.

James Hyslop, head of Science and Natural History for Christie’s, said, “This is a really exciting auction and opportunity for collectors. Meteorites are incredibly rare objects; the combined weight of all the known meteorites is less than the annual output of gold. Ever since an exhibition in Paris featured a car famously struck by a meteorite, I’ve wanted to bring an object hit by an extraterrestrial object to auction.”Christie's Images LTD.
