The Bavarian city of Nördlingen is maybe the only town in the world built using materials of extraterrestrial origin. Parts of a large meteorite that formed the crater it sits in was used for building the city walls, town houses, churches, etc. pic.twitter.com/Qmg8LL6cLq

The 15th century church—St. Georg—especially, was built almost completely using suevite, molten rock from the impact of the meteorite 15 million years ago, containing millions of tiny diamond particles. I hear they give excellent sermons. pic.twitter.com/oSuK68YrwG

As this is my birthtown I can assure you that there are no aliens. And the rock is quite pretty, yet mainly molten material from earth with only traces of meteorite.

“Thus easily can Earth digest
A cinder of sidereal fire,
And make her translunary guest
The native of an English shire. ...
Nor is it strange these wanderers
Find in her lap their fitting place,
For every particle that's hers
Came at the first from outer space.”
C.S. Lewis
