Every rock has a story tell and none more so than those which have fallen from the sky:
meteorites Originating in the Asteroid Belt between Mars and Jupiter these rocky fragments
offer clues not just to the earliest origins of the Solar System but also to Earth's very
survival into the future Sky at Night presenter Dr Tim Gregory takes us on a journey through
the very earliest days of our Solar System to the spectacular meteorite falls that produced
'fiery rain' in 1792 to the pre-solar grains (literally stardust) that were blown in from
other solar systems and are the oldest solid objects ever discovered on earth Meteorites
reveal a story much bigger than ourselves or our planet As Tim says 'it is an epic beyond
compare'
