A common fantasy trope is that whenever a meteorite falls, some blacksmith gets the "star metal" and forges a sword out of it. Are there any records in history of anything like this ever happening? Did European / Asian chronicles ever record a fallen meteorite retrieved by local people?

In a famous anime fight, the antagonist blasts an energy ball at a planet's core, which resulted in the planet exploding after some time. What would actually need to happen for a planet to explode?
