Meteorites

The story of our solar system


  • Natural History Museum (Quarto)
  • by Caroline Smith, Sara Russell, Natasha Almeida
Meteorites are natural objects that have fallen from space to the Earth's surface. Once considered bad omens, they are now recognised as a unique window onto the processes that forged the formation of the solar system 4,570 million years ago. They reveal how impacts have shaped and modified planets, asteroids and moons; and they even contain evidence of astrophysical phenomena that occurred long before our solar system was born.
