Professor Armstrong works at NASA, otherwise known as the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, where he is a well-known scientist. He was asked a number of questions about Qur'anic verses dealing with the expertise in Astronomy. When asked about Iron and how it was formed. He explained how all the elements on Earth were formed. He stated that the scientists have only recently come to discover relevant facts about the Iron formation process. He said that the energy of the early solar system was not sufficient enough to produce elemental iron.
In calculating the energy required to form one atom of iron, it was found to be about four times as much as the energy of the entire solar system. In other words, the entire energy of the earth or the moon or the planet Mars or any other planet is not sufficient to form one new atom of iron, even the energy of the entire solar system is not sufficient for that. That is why Professor Armstrong said that the scientists believe that iron is an extraterrestrial that was sent to earth and not formed therein. As mentioned in the Qur'anic verse:
"And we sent down Iron, in which is Great might, as well as many benefits for mankind." The Holy Qur'an, Chapter 57, Verse 25.
When we take into consideration the literal meaning of the word "sent down" which is "being physically sent down from the sky", we realize that this verse implies a very significant scientific miracle.
