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."
