Bonus: The First Person Struck by a Meteor & The Discovery of Oxygen

Bonus: The First Person Struck by a Meteor & The Discovery of Oxygen

Lindsay Graham from History Daily explores the human side of two topics we often discuss on the show: Meteors and Oxygen.

  • On November 30, 1954, Alabama resident Ann Hodges becomes the first person struck by a meteorite, an event that will upend the 34-year-old’s life.
  • On August 1, 1774, English philosopher and chemist, Joseph Priestley, discovers a mysterious new gas, which will come to be known as “oxygen”.
