Where do they come from? Are they a threat? What are they made of? How common are they? As centuries have passed, our knowledge of these extra-terrestrial objects has advanced immensely, and today, the scientific study of meteorites provides a wealth of information about the solar system. Meteorites reveal clues to some of the greatest scientific enigmas:<br /> • the origin of life on Earth<br /> • the mass extinction of species<br /> • the nature and composition of asteroids<br /> • the conditions during the formation of the solar system<br /> • the dust from stars that died long before our Sun formed.<br /> Written by a team of experts, Meteorites is an accessible, comprehensive guide that features over two hundred full-colour photographs, diagrams and graphs. Look no further for a wonderful introduction to these powerful, yet mystifying, objects.
