Meteorites - as well as shooting stars and meteors - result from a
collision of a solid body from space with our Earth, but only
meteorites are able to penetrate the Earth's protective shield, the
atmosphere, and fall to the Earth's surface. Apart from lunar
samples, they are the only materials from beyond the Earth which we
can probe and study.
This book gives a concise and up-to-date description of meteorites
- fall phenomena, chemical and mineral composition, classification
- as well as a discussion of their formation and origin, which also
tells us the story of the formation of our planetary system. The
text is understandable for laymen and students, but can also be
used as an introduction to the field for students and scientists.
