Research on the Kaba meteorite

Since 2010, Mihály Nagy was increasingly involved in meteorite research.[5] This may be due to the fact that the world-famous Kaba meteorite[6] is kept in the museum of the Reformed College of Debrecen, where he was also a high school principal. According to his definition, the cosmological study of meteorites offers information about the period of the formation of the Solar System.[7] He has published books and studies based on his research, and his outstanding research achievement was the presentation of the meteorite's layered structure on SEM and CT images.[8] He has given numerous scientific and scientific-educational lectures at international conferences, universities, colleges, conferences of the ELFT and the Magyarhoni Földtani Társulat,[9] in-service teacher training, and houses of culture.
