What Meteorites Tell Us About The Early Solar System
by guest speaker Joel Schiff
Meteorites are Solar System material that has landed on Earth. Most of it comes from the Asteroid Belt between Mars and Jupiter, although some specimens are from the Moon and Mars. How this material lands on Earth and why it is scientifically important for studying the origins of the Solar System will be the subject of the talk. Numerous samples belonging to the author will be available for perusal.
This is a fascinating and important topic of astronomy. We look forward to seeing you all there!
