Meteorites are rocks from space that have fallen to the Earth's surface. Once considered bad omens, they are now recognized as giving us a unique insight into the nature of material that was present at the formation of the Solar System.
In this book, leading experts from the Natural History Museum provide a compelling and up-to-date introduction to these mysterious objects. Drawing on the Museum's previous publication of the same name, this new book reveals what meteorites are, where they come from and what they tell us about our Solar System.
It also explains how they can provide us with invaluable information about planets beyond Earth, both within our Solar System and around other stars.
