Weighing over 100 pounds it is probably the largest to have fallen in Britain in modern times.Water freezes faster if cooled quickly from a warm temperature, than it does from a cooler one.(Warm water freezes faster than cold water due to a lower oxygen content - but the cooling must occur quickly before the warm water naturally re-oxygenates) A large meteorite fell in Leicestershire on 24 December 1965.
