    Summary: 
    "Meteorites have long been seen as portents of fate and messages from the gods, their fiery remains inspired worship and gave rise to myths that persisted for millennia. But beyond the legends and the lore, meteorites tell an even more spectacular story: that of our Solar System, and the worlds that grace it. A geologist-turned-cosmochemist Tim Gregory shows in Meteorite, beneath the charred crusts of these celestial stones lies a staggering diversity of rock types. Gregory explores the world of meteorites to uncover new insights into what our solar system was like before our sun became a star, into the forging of our planet, and into the emergence of life on it."
