Space rock smashes through roof
A meteorite the size of a grapefruit has smashed though the roof of a house in New Zealand.
The space rock bounced off the sofa, hit the ceiling again and then rolled under the computer.
Scientists say the 1.3kg rock was travelling at 500 km/h when it struck the house in Auckland. It's the ninth meteorite ever recorded there.
